1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.

3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the West Virginia regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
