1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Check the Oregon regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
