1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
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 Indiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
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.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
