2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Illinois regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
