1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.

5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
