Purpose of loan:
The loan will be used to pay off high interest credit cards. 

My financial situation:
I am a homeowner for almost 12 years.  I have worked for the same company as an analyst and executive assistant since 1992.  I need to improve my FICO score and save money by paying off my high interest credit cards. In November of 2007, I had an HR credit grade.  In 2 months, my credit grade improved to an E because I managed to reorganize some of my debt.  My state is an interest rate cap state.  I am willing to pay the maximum interest rate of 17.78%.  I do not want to make an early withdrawal/loan from my IRA or 401K so I am asking for your assistance. 

I have a state lien but I recently worked out a monthly payment plan with Indiana to pay off that lien.    
I filed for bankruptcy in October 2005.  My bankruptcy was fully discharged in July 2007.

Monthly net income: $ 3,900
Monthly expenses:    
Housing: $ 1,587 (payment will decrease to $1,000 in October 2008) 
Home Equity Loan:  $ 150  
State Lien payment:  $ 150  
Insurance: $ 60  
Car expenses: $ 50 (I use my car only to commute to/from train station and local travel)  
Utilities: $ 200  
Phone, cable, internet: $0 (my company pays these expenses)  
Food, entertainment: $ 200  
Clothing, household expenses $ 200 ($100 is put away for household emergencies...see note below chart)   
Credit cards and other expenses: $ 600   
Work commute expense: $ 110 (train to/from Chicago for work)

By getting the prosper loan, I will be able to pay off my high interest credit cards and save about $100/month which will be used to pay down on my credit card balances.  In addition, I will now have open credit that I can use for emergencies.  I then will be able to use the $100 I set aside for emergencies to pay another $100 down on my balances.  Thank you.
