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. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Missouri regulator's licence list.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
