3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Check the Pennsylvania regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
7. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
