My financial situation:
Like many good hard working families, my wife and I have tried to do things the right way. Much of the debt you see before you goes back to the early days when my wife and I were trying to finish getting me through college while raising two kids. To give you a little personal background about myself and my wife, I've worked in the IS department of a major health-care provider for the past 5 ½ years. My wife has been with her company for the past 1 ½ years. We would like a chance to clear our debt out and start over. Like many people, we've made the budgets, laid out grocery and gas money, and had what we thought was ?the perfect budget? to get everything paid down. What we didn't see coming were all the things you don't plan for. And every time we'd start to make a little dent, we'd have to hit the credit cards to pay for an unexpected expense.

You might be asking how this loan will help us. Well, it would help us in so many ways:
#1: Currently we pay $511 per month for the loans & credit cards listed above. With this loan, the minimum I would pay all of you back would be $278 per month. That alone will save me $233 per month. My loans are always paid on time. The main reason why they never go down, is because we try to overextend ourselves by doubling one or two credit card payments, but then, an automobile repair would come up for $200. Then we'd have to use the money we just sent in to repair my car. We get caught in that vicious cycle.

#2: Credit Score. Do I need to say more? That money would go to the 6 credit cards/loans which will increase my score. It will also take care of the collection I have for my children's dental bill.

#3: Peace of mind. With this debt, my wife and I can throw away 3 of those credit cards and only have one set aside for those emergencies until we can build up a savings account. The feeling of not having to go, ?we just made a double payment on these two cards, i guess we can use both of those to pay off this?. That would be such a great feeling.

My wife and I would be greatly appreciative if you would consider helping us out. We are tired of taking 2 steps forward then taking 3 steps back. We will 100% pay this back and we thank you.
