3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Look the lender up in the Illinois regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
