1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.

3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the Alabama regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
