1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Verify the lender's South Dakota licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
