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. Confirm the lender holds a Wisconsin licence by checking the regulator named above.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
