1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Kentucky regulator's licence list.
