Basic facts about personal loans - There are a number of personal loan types available. Keep in mind that the lender you choose, the amount you need, and you own financial situation may affect the options you will have.

Where to go for one - In the past your options were limited to just your neighborhood bank, but today you have more choices, although not all of them are good ones.

Your credit score - Before you decide to get a personal loan, you need to make sure your credit is in order. Credit is one of those commonly used terms that people don't really understand.

Credit report errors - Before you apply for a personal loan, particularly one for something important to you like a car or a vacation, you might want to check your report for problems.

Getting the best deal - Most banks and credit unions have fairly similar requirements and policies regarding loans, but you do need to know how to compare loans in order to discover which one will cost you less over time.

Other options to consider - In lots of cases, however, taking out a loan may not be the best solution. You need to carefully weigh the costs of taking on more debt with the benefits of receiving the funds from a personal loan.
