Purpose of loan:
I'm requesting a loan to pay off some bad debt that I would like to get rid of.  I recently graduated college(aprox 2 years ago) and ran into some hard times.  I was unable to find a full time job that was going to cover living expenses, as well as my credit cards and student loans.  I was sent to collections for one of my credit cards and my Alma-mater received a judgement verdict for outstanding balance that I owed them. Things did turn around as I found an entry level position as an Accountant.  I've been employed for about 1 year and 6 months now and currently I'm starting to climb out of the gutter.  I've been paying all my bills, including both the collection agency for my credit card and my Alma-mater, but never seem to be able to pay more than the minimum.  With this loan I will be able to pay off these two bad debts, as well as a couple of credit cards I have in good standings, and start to get my credit back to what it should be

My financial situation:

As stated above, I've been employed, with the same employer, for a year and a half now and I'm starting to get back on track.  My current debts are as followed:

Citi Card: $233 ( $30 a month)
Capital One: $886 ($35 a month)
Collection Agency/Credit Card: $1351 ($90 a month)
Collection Agency/Judgement: $3000 ($200 a month)
Student Loans: $32,000 ($262 a month)
Dell Finacial Services: $850 ($30 a month)
Chrysler Financial: $0 (recently paid off so this wont be an expense)

As you can see I'm paying roughly $650 a month on these expenses, and that does not include housing, utilities, food, etc...
With this loan I plan on paying off both of my collection accounts (total of $290) a month and my Capital One card ($35).  The collection agency for the credit card have recently called me trying to get a settlement amount around $850, so if I could pay them that amount, I should also be able to pay down my Citi card.  This is a combine total of $355 a month that I'm currently paying on 4 bills, which I've paid on time.  With this loan my monthly payment would be around $200 a month, saving me $155.  I will now have extra cash to help pay off the other bills I have thus, eliminating that debt sooner.  So there should be no worry about me paying back on time.

If there is something I can answer further, please feel free to contact me. 

I appreciate all the help I can get.
