1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Indiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
