3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the California regulator's licence list.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

What a Irvine borrower is actually offered

Most loans made to Irvine's 314,621 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Irvine loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Irvine loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
