About Me
I graduated from Eastern Illinois University in May 2005 as an older student...after working full-time plus two part-time jobs while in school.  Currently I work for a non-profit organization as an Admin Assistant.  I am a Navy Veteran with a downgraded secret security clearance, as well as a former U.S. Government employee. 

About my Credit 
I am a E with ScoreX . 
I owe the following: $1800  for various payday loans

I traded down to a much cheaper car  and am saving about $320.00 a month

 I have a $1,000 loan to a personal friend

Medical bills totalling $1368

I need two new front tires for my car $120 

My careful budget is now destroyed from the high interest loans! The good news is that I have been fully employed for a year and managed to move and keep up with my current bills.  

With a Prosper Loan I will save $322 in interest every MONTH! 

Student loans$    73
Utilities         $   120
Rent             $ 1354
Auto Ins        $    76
Car Payment $  298  
Food             $  150
Misc (includes cell phone)   $  100                                 
Total              $2171

My Solution
With this loan, I would like to simplify things by making only one payment that would be paid off in full in under 3 years. My plans for this loan are: Pay off the medical bills, payday loans and purchase tires (above) as well as repay the loan to my friend.  I have requested a forbearance on the rest of my student loans for 6 months.
I intend to apply $322 per month to start a savings, and I have suggested beginning at 29% APR because I realize that lenders deserve a competitive interest rate. I hope to see my rate bid down!
