1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Confirm the North Dakota licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
