1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
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 Illinois regulator's licence list.
5. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
