1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.

3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the California regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.

7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
