Do:
- Be honest and truthful when applying for a personal loan.
- List all your debts and monthly expenses in the application form.
- Provide copies of your salary slips for the last 3 months and any other documents that might help in proving your income to the lender.
- Shop around when applying for a personal loan to get the best deal available on interest rates, fees, and terms of repayment period.
- Know the current interest rates and what they apply.
- Have bank accounts in good standing, preferably with high and low balances.
- Have good credit scores.
- Be in general good financial health, with no recent bankruptcy or other major problem with your credit score.
- Consider the terms of the loan, such as when it must be repaid and if there are any penalties for late payments.
- Do make sure to have your bank account information & SSN, Drivers licenses, and W2 form handy
- Do make sure to provide your address, cell phone number, and email address to the lender if needed.
- Do have a steady income and a good credit history
Don't:
- Apply for a personal loan when you're unemployed or when you're not earning enough to cover your monthly bills or debt repayments on time every month; this will lead to defaulting on your credit score, which will make it more difficult to secure another personal loan in the future. It may also affect any other loans
- Do not apply for loans from companies you do not know well or trust. If you have been scammed before by applying for these "loans", then don't be fooled again
- Don't have a high debt from other loans.
- Don’t have a very low credit score.
