- Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.

- Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
- Verify the lender's Oklahoma licence with the regulator listed on this page.
- When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
- Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
