1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.

3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Look the lender up in the South Carolina regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
6. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
