1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Texas regulator's licence list.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
7. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
