 I am re-listing this request at a slightly higher interest rate.  When posting my initial loan request I was unfamiliar with the bid-down process.  I have set my opening bidding percentage 15% and I am hopeful that my credit will be instrumental in seeing it bid down.

I work full-time in the clerical department of Union Pacific Railroad, where I enjoy excellent job security and ample overtime opportunities.  I am a young, highly motivated individual who owns my own modest home and is determined to free myself from the burden of debt in the next few years.  I learned my lesson with the charge cards a couple years back but, while the cards themselves are long gone, the debt remains.  Along with residual credit card debt of approximately $8000, I also have an outstanding note to my father for $7000.  This represents money he lent to me to help finish school, cover moving expenses and purchase a vehicle.  While I have been paying him back each month, he wants to purchase a travel trailer this summer.  It would honor him if I consolidated all of my debt into a single loan and repaid him.Lastly,  I listed this request $500 higher than the previous.  This represents money I plan to use to have ectropion corrective surgery on my cocker spaniel puppy's eyelids.  This looks to cost $420 plus lab fees.  My dogs eyes are droopy, making them prone to irritation and the veterinarian recommended having them corrected.  It is a costly albeit wise procedure to invest in for the sake of my beloved dog's long-term health.

My financial situation:
I have excellent credit because I have always honored my debts.  I pay my bills on time each month, set a budget and keep money in reserves for emergencies.  I have a good, secure job which pays a living wage and allows me ample opportunities to work overtime.  I live modestly, and am able to set aside money each month as a buffer for emergencies.  My goal is to have 3 months expenses in reserves by the end of the summer.  This loan would actually end up reducing my monthly expenses by a small margin, not to mention offering me the convenience of a single payment and a sensible and aggressive three-year payoff term.I earn an additional $600 every month by leasing out my extra bedroom to a friend and renting my garage to my father for storage space.My monthly budget:
Mortgage/rent: $740.00
Insurance: $66.00
Car expenses: $ Incidental repairs only
Utilities: $100 - heat/electricityPhone, cable, internet: $60.00
Food, entertainment: $150.00Clothing, household expenses $50.00Credit cards and other loan payments: $550.00 (WILL BE REPLACED MY NEW LOAN PAYMENT)

Please help me achieve my financial goal of becoming debt-free in three years! Thanks for all your help.
