1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Oregon regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
7. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
