3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Illinois regulator's licence list.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
