1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the New York regulator's licence list.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
