Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to pay down a high interest rate credit card.   I have closed the account but still carry the balance.    Closing the account decreased my overall available credit,  but I flat out rejected this banks attempt to increase my interest rate.  Thus, I had little other choice.   I have never missed a payment and have always paid above my minimum payment.   My years of consistency as a payor were rewarded with higher interest rates.

My financial situation:
I have a stable job as a manager in a private ambulance company.   Our industry while not immune to the condition of the economy, we are somewhat insulated from the effects of a recession more than many other industries.   I have a perfect history of paying my bills on time and my credit score has been climbing slowly since a personal bankruptcy in 2000.    I have a good DTI ratio and live  within my means.  I am married and own a home.  In the past 12 months I have reduced my credit card debt 28% and using tools like debtgoal.com I am simply seeking lower interest rates to maximize savings.
