1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Montana licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
