1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Louisiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
