Pay down higher-rate credit card
My financial situation:
(explain why you are a good candidate for paying back this loan)

I have a damged credit rating due to past experiences.  In the past I had a much lower income but a great credit rating.  I fell into the temptation of several credit card offers.  Before I knew it, I found myself over-extended in credit card debt.  I also fell into the cycle of pay day loans trying to keep up with the payments.  This only made matters worse.  I was in a lot of debt and falling behind on everything but refused to take the easy way out.  I sold my home to pay off some of my debts and got a 2nd job which I have been at for just over 6 months.  I was able to pay most of the credit cards off and am now current on the few I have left.  I am trying to pay down one creditor that has been extremely difficult to work with.  I am making monthly payments to them on time but most of what I pay goes to interest (very, very high rate) and fees from falling so far behind on it.  I am in the process of restoring my credit rating and it is going up slowly, but surely.  I have applied recently with other lenders and banks (reason for the recent credit inquires) but my credit score is too low to get approved for an unsecured loan.  I have heard and read that "Prosper" is a better way to go so I am giving it a shot.  I am a professional and responsible person who made some mistakes in the past.  I have learned from those mistakes and paid the price both financially and emotionally.  The toughest thing I have ever had to do was to sell my home, but I know that it was the right thing to do.  I also know that I am on the right path to becoming a homeowner again in the near future.  I would truly appreciate your consideration and thank you to anyone that can fund or partially fund my request.
