1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Arkansas regulator's licence list.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
