ABOUT ME:
I am 32 years old, married for 7 years and have one wonderful son aged 2 ½. I have been with my current employer for 2 ½ years and also work part-time 16 hours per month for the discount at a children?s clothing store.  

EXPLANATION OF BAD CREDIT: 
I have always been responsible with my finances; however, in 2003 we had to file bankruptcy due to me losing a $100k+ job and my husband losing his job at the same time.  Soon thereafter, I got pregnant with our first child and could not find a job.  In two and a half years, I was unemployed for 13 months.

WHAT I WILL DO WITH THE MONEY LOANED TO ME: I make a good salary; however, cannot get out from under these loans that I unfortunately got myself into.  I have been in these payday loans for two and a half years trying to keep us afloat and keep our house (since we did not want to lose that in the bankruptcy).  I am now financially at a position where by paying off these loans, I will have sufficient money to pay back my Prosper loan because getting rid of these loans will free up a large amount of cash each month. 

DETAILS OF MY PAYDAY LOANS: 
Unfortunately, I have 4 online loans totaling $2k, 1 have 8 local loans totaling $4k, and 7 defaulted local loans totaling $2700 (because I couldn't make my bills and pay the fees) that I am paying off in monthly payments.  Therefore, my debts of this type total almost $9K. Currently, my loan payments total $1,840.35 a month without paying anything down on the principal.  After doing analysis on these to determine the most efficient way to approach this with a prosper loan, I found that if I borrowed $3,750, I would be able to pay off my 7 most expensive current loans immediately.  This would provide me with $1,078 in monthly savings a month and enable me to pay back my Prosper loan (and the other payday loans) without any problems.  

HERE ARE MY MONTHLY FINANCIAL DETAILS: I am a Branch Manager at a staffing company.  My net income after payroll deductions from all sources is $3,800.  
(My husband and I have separate accounts and separate bills and he handles the mortgage payment.)  
Phone: $ 200                      Insurance: $ 130               Gas & Electricity: $150               Water, Trash and Sewer: $40  
Car Loan and Operating Expenses: $550                      Daycare. - $600    
Credit cards and loans that won't be paid off with my Prosper loan: $ 150  
Payments on defaulted payday loans: $350
Other payday loans that will remain: $762
-----------------------
Total Monthly Expenses: $ 2,932  

This leaves a cushion of over $850 per month.  This is many times what I need to fund the prosper loan, and I plan to use the additional cushion, over the next few months, to pay off the remaining payday loans, one at a time, further increasing my available monthly cash.  By June, I expect to have all of them paid off, including the old ones that are defaulted.

As you can see, I am finally in a place where with just a bit of help I could get out of this situation and not have the stress of living paycheck to paycheck anymore.  I would greatly appreciate any help you would be willing to provide me and would be forever indebted to you.
