Well, the first listing didn't go through, so I dropped the loan from 2250 to 1750 and raised the interest from 25% to 26% (state cap).

ABOUT ME:
  
I am 22 years old, newly married, and am a first-time father.  I am currently working two jobs to support my family, as my wife is a stay-at-home mother.  I am looking to rebuild my credit to provide a better life for my family, and request that you consider me as a sound investment despite my credit rating. It is my commitment to you that I will make my payments on time and will not be late.

My main job is as a driver for Pizza Hut, where I have been employed since March 2006.  Due to the nature of the job, my hours aren't guaranteed. I can be scheduled for 20 hours in a week and end up actually working 15 to 30.  Lately, I have been averaging 45 hours every 2 weeks.  With tips and mileage reimbursement, I average about $10-12 per hour.

I also work a second job part time at an Exxon gas station, which gets me about 25.5 hours a week. I just started working there again earlier this month (had been previously employed for 9 months in 2004) after being laid off from a call center position where I had worked for a total of about 2 ¼ years.
 
EXPLANATION OF BAD CREDIT:
The extent of my HR credit rating and personal debt is derived from two sources: credit card debt and check collections. The last time I checked (Dec 2006), I had an Experian credit score of 515, which isn?t too far from an E credit rating. I have tried my best to explain my history in my profile, and although I realize it does reflect negatively on me, I can say that I have learned the importance of having good credit and I am fully committed to building it back up piece by piece. Yes, I have been irresponsible in the past, but I can say that I have honestly learned my lesson and want to live better. Having a child has a very sobering effect on your life, being such a young parent, and I am now seeing how much my credit impacts him as well as myself.

WHAT I PLAN TO DO WITH THE LOAN:
The purpose of the loan is for debt consolidation.  I plan to pay off my credit card (plus the two my wife has), then pay off the old checks that are in collections.  I also intend to get a secured card through my bank, linked to our savings account.  I realize that it may not seem like a wise idea to get another credit card, even a secured one, but aside from my commitment not to repeat my prior mistakes, I know it is one of the best ways to build your credit up again.
