Thank you for spending the time to review my credentials as I am a professional pilot that flies jet aircraft for a Charter Company.  In this past year, I started a Business with some business partners and incurred some credit card debt ($7,500) while working on the project because I was not collecting a paycheck.  I am now working for a new company as a pilot making $45,000 a year. I am currently paying 28% APR on my credit cards and am looking to use this Prosper loan to help pay them off and build my credit rating to buy my first home.

I am a single 31 y/o male that does not have any children.  I own my car (paid off) and the insurance is paid for under my brothers? policy.  I come from a large successful family that has great morals and values. In February 2002, I filed bankruptcy as I was laid off from work as a flight instructor due to September 11, 2001.  During flight school, I incurred some debt and had all intentions of paying if off.  After I was laid off, I moved twice to follow job promises yet both of them did not come about because of the strain on the economy.  I did finally get a low paying job in January 2002.  While I was unable to keep up with the interest charges and fees, I was advised by money management counselors that they could not help me and bankruptcy was the only option.If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
