3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Confirm the Kentucky licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
7. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
