Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to? 
Pay some bills for the next few weeks. Rough summer financially, but things are improving. Car broke down ($3250), Girlfriend was out of work (started new job this week), had to use credit cards to pay auto repair and float us on living expenses (her unemployment covered only a portion of what we needed). Took out a payday loan to cover the rest. I'm at the point where I need to get another one and I really want to avoid that if at all possible. Our financial house will be in order by the end of the month, but I need this amount now to avoid being late on any bills.

$100.00 Prosper Fee
$250.00 to Credit Cards (At least reduces balance slightly)
$390.00 Payday Loan
$160.00 Misc. Bills/Living Expenses

My financial situation:
I am a good candidate for this loan because?
Although my credit score is not where I would like it to be, I have never missed a car payment, rent payment, utility payment, etc. I keep my expenses in check and am very aware of where every penny goes.   
 
Monthly net income: $ 3100.00    

Monthly expenses: $
  Housing: $ 1130.00
  Insurance: $ 100.00
  Car expenses: $ 300.00 
  Utilities: $ 100.00
  Phone, cable, internet: $200.00
  Food, entertainment: $ 250.00
  Clothing, household expenses $ 40.00
  Credit cards and other loans: $ 140.00 
  Other expenses: $ 40
  Prosper Loan Payment: $50.00
I will be able to budget additional to pay towards loan. I have reduced the amount requested several times, this amount will give me what I need. I will be receiving my year-end bonus in December and tax refund in April, both of which will payoff any remaining credit card balances and paydown this loan. Ultimately, I can have this paid off and be totally debt free by December 2009. Thanks for your consideration.
