Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to pay off a high interest credit card.

My financial situation:
I am a full-time student with a part-time job. I would like to improve my credit score/grade and save some money by paying off one of my high balance, high interest credit cards. I am in an interest rate cap state and am willing to pay the maximum interest rate of 17.78%, which is still a huge difference compared to my 31.24% credit card.

I am a very hard-working young woman and am trying to improve my credit score so that I can find a car that is more reliable than the one I currently drive. I understand I need to take one step at a time to improve my financial situation before this is possible. Please read my member profile to learn more about my future goals.
