Most lenders that you deal with are probably not in your state. Just look where you send your credit card and mortgage payments to now. But if you deal with someone out of state it is a good idea to ask for a toll free number and call directory assistance to make sure they are listed. You can also ask them if they are listed on D&S street reports. They cover the whole country. Or try the BBB.
