Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to refinance a credit card which just had its rate raised by 10%. I made my first late payment in over 5 years over the Easter holiday weekend -- late by 1 day. In return, this credit card rate has gone up to 29.80%, and they refuse to lower it after I spent a half hour on hold with them.

My financial situation:
I am a good candidate for this loan because I have full-time employment, and I do not spend money on "extras". My financial world has seen quite a bit of "experience", by which I mean I racked up a bunch of debt in college and am now wiser for the experience. My focus for the past 14 months has been to reduce debt, at the expense of maybe a new computer, or a HDTV, or a new pair of shoes.

I have a lovely toddler at home - a little girl, pictured with the listing. I am also getting married in less than a month, and wedding expenses have really reduced the amount of money available for debt reduction, so interest rate reduction is important for me right now.
 
You will see from my monthly expenses that debt makes up the bulk of my monthly budgeting. It includes 4 revolving accounts, an auto loan, government student loans, and my first Prosper loan. In total, I owe about $13,000 total in revolving debt, and about $4,000 was just transferred to a lower interest account. I own a home in Nebraska, but due to a transfer at work, I am no longer living in it. I have a renter in a year's lease. Due to these factors, my DTI is overstated and my credit score has suffered. Why it has dropped from a B to a C...I have no idea. TransUnion reports my score at 700. You can see that I have no delinquencies, no outstanding collections, very little negative activity at all. FICO really doesn't like the fact that I have a relatively short credit history average.

I would appreciate your bid on this listing. I want to get the card I mentioned paid off as soon as possible, in full, even if it means another tradeline on my report. I have held a Prosper loan for over a year now, with all payments being made on time. I do not make a habit of late payments, and will make this loan payment, along with the rest of them: on time, every time. Thank you for your time looking at this listing, and God bless.
