1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Check the Michigan regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
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.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
