Purpose of loan:
I plan on paying off my Payday loans that I took mistakenly, put most of my credit cards into one payment and get them all centralized for maximum pay off. Also, I had to do some orthodontical work and I would like to pay this off so I can get more work done on my jaw. They will not operate until this is paid off.

Work situation: I currently work for a Forbes 500 company called St Jude Medical full time and just recently recieved a raise. I put in 40 hours a week, plus over time when it comes to me. I make $14.25 an hour and potentially have a chance for another raise in February. I see myself staying there for a long time to see where this company can take me. I have been there since October 2006 and plan to be here a lot longer. St Jude helps pay for college if it is in the medical field which is perfect for me. I will save money by getting help from St Jude for school tuition and also by having a full time job. It's a big work load, but I am more then willing to do it!

My financial situation/ am I a good candidate: I am a good candidate for this because I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger and charged more then I could afford and took out pat day loans to help. I am setting up automatic payment so I can ensure the borrowers will get repaid back and that this loan will HELP my credit score, not hurt it.

Credit: My credit is low because I am a younger adult with little credit history. I have 3 years so far with car loans and at least one credit card at a time. I was young, and let my credit cards get out of hand. I am now fully aware of the consequences of my action and am trying to eliminate my debt in its entirety. I pay my loans and cards on time and try so hard to establish credit, but I let one card get pretty high and hurt my score because of the limit being close to being reached. I have now cancelled all but 2 credit cards and am keeping those for emergencies and to build credit. Charging a little every month and paying off the complete balance EVERY month is how I will slowly rebuild my credit.  

Monthly expenses: $ $1240
  Housing: $ 415
  Insurance: $ 160
  Car expenses: $ 160
  Utilities: $ 15
  Phone, cable, internet: $ 90
  Food, entertainment: $ 100
  Clothing, household expenses $ 50
  Credit cards and other loans: $ 150 (school loans)
  Other expenses: $ 100
  Prosper loan: $ 350-500

As you can see, my total monthly expenses is $1240, which leaves about $790-$640 to save up money and also to pay off this loan. With this loan, I will pay off the following high interest cards and pay day loans:

Orchard Bank (19% interest): $300
First Premier21% interest): $100
Chase (13% interest): $900
Pay Day Loan(228% interest): $300
Dept. Store (24% interest): $ 475
Applied Card Bank (29% interest): $ 800
Orthodontist Bill(0 % interest, but I cannot have my jaw fixed until this bill is taken care of): $125
As you can see, this loan will help out and cost me a little more money in the long run, but it is better for me because of the "hassle" factor that plays into this. With this, I can it it hard and pay down this loan within 2 years I am hoping.

This is my 3rd listing and I am hoping that the 3rd time is the charm. I want to work so hard to get my bills paid off and build up my credit so I may have a life where I am not worrying all of the time. Thank you and God Bless.
