Before you hand your details to a lender in Bloomington, where the population is near 87,398:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Minnesota regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
