1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.

3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Oklahoma regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
