Purpose of loan:
(explain what you will be using this loan for)

I actually have two primary purposes for the loan in the amount of $4,500.00 I am presently requesting.  First and foremost, I would like to pay off high interest credit cards that presently total roughly $2,300.  The secondary purpose for the loan I am requesting is for use in paying the expenses I will incur when my daughter and I begin the search for a college for her to attend in Fall 2008.  We plan to start visiting colleges during the next two months, and the money would help to cover travel-related expenses, in addition to any application fees.

My financial situation:

(explain why you are a good candidate for paying back this loan)

I am a good candidate for paying back this loan for several reasons.  First, I have worked very hard over the last 4 years in rebuilding my credit.  During this time, I have never been late on any of my financial accounts.  The problems I initially experienced with my credit began back when I was in college.  At that time I, like so many other college students, obtained 4 - 5 credit cards that I did not need.  Unlike many college students who run into problems with credit cards, my parents were not financially able to bail me out.  After I had my daughter in 1991, it became more difficult for me to pay off my past balances while handling the financial responsibilities of a single parent.  Although I worked 2 and 3 jobs at various points, I was unable to pay off all of my financial accounts.  By 2003, I was forced to take extreme measures to get rid of my debt.  However, I looked at this as an opportunity to start over.  Because I was so diligent in keeping my accounts current, I was able to rebuild my credit score to the point that I qualified for a decent interest rate when I purchased my home in 12/2005.  The second reason I am a good candidate for this loan is because of my character.  I am an honest, hardworking person.  I take my financial obligations very seriously because I feel that in today's world, in so many ways, your financial history determines your future.
