Purpose of loan:
This is a fourth attempt to fund a debt consolidation loan.  My first listing was fully funded, but was canceled as I never received my address verification card from Prosper.  I pulled my second and third as they weren't funding well; I'm new to Prosper and don't think I selected a high enough interest rate to attract lenders!  I am approaching Prosper as I wish to beat my credit cards companies to an anticipated rate hike; I want to cut up the cards and have a low, regular monthly payment. 

My financial situation:
I am an administrative assistant with a Chicago-based, international non-profit.  We help people in need all over the world: from the recent typhoon in Bangladesh to empowering women in rural villages, we're there!  

I recently moved to the area (thus my short term of employment) to be closer to my girlfriend.  I am reliable: I have never missed a credit card/loan payment.  My basic information: I have no dependents, and have never married.  I don't own a car (I use metro to get around).  I am a recent college graduate who used credit cards too often instead of taking a part-time job while in school (big mistake!).  I have three active credit accounts--one with a low balance ($50) and a 20% rate that I will close next month; another with a high balance (around $7,200) and a low introductory rate that will soon go very high; and one more with a balance of roughly $1,500 and a moderate rate--11%. 

Thank you for taking the time to look at my loan request!
