1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Verify the lender's Illinois licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
