Looking at this loan it is a fellow lender who has a steady stream of income just from prosper. There is a credit history that tells us that 8 late payments have been made but the debt to income is extremely low for Prosper borrowers. The interest rate that I normally look for in a "B" credit grade is 14%+ but I feel this is a safe loan with the fellow lender or "blender" as they are frequently called in the forums. I think giving him 1 less point is fair. Again I am happy to be part of this loan as well.

Q: Please explain the current delinquency and the reason the first loan attempt did not fund. Thank you -calculating1
A: Iam working on finding out where the delinquency comes from. I'm never late on any of my bills. The first loan attempt didn't go through because I sent off the wrong information and they didn't receive the correct info in time. (Nov-14-2007)

Looking at a "A" credit grade there is one current DQ but this may be inaccurate reporting and leads to higher interest rates. There is a 10 year credit history with no DQ's I think this loan is going to pay off and be on that helps the portfolio stay in the double digits!

Again looks to be a safe bet. Credit history indicates only 1 late in the last 7 years. The debt to income is a little high but hey its America. The monthly expense report indicates that this family should be able to make the monthly payments and help their financial situation. Glad to be in on this one as well.

Description
Hello, I am looking to consolidate a couple of credit card balances and a prosper loan into asingle loan. I have had my current prosper loan for over ayear and have made my payment on time each month. I am a responsible individual and will use this money to pay off my credit cards to improve my credit score. I am a retail manager at a national big box chain. This loan will be my only debt payment as my car note has been paid off for over a year. I am currently living with a close friend and therefore my monthly rent payment is very low at $360 a month. I will most likely make prepayments on the loan to pay it off early and be completely debt free.

Car Expenses (gas, mantenance,etc): $500

This looks to be a promising loan. The credit history is clean as well as already having a prosper loan out for 12 months with zero late payments. The debt to income ration is relatively low even with the new loan. Glad to be part of this one.

Single Dagger

Well my first late for the Holiday season seems to be flipping current! I assumed that this was most likely a banking issues and it appears that I was correct. While i am not out of the woods until the funds hit my account I feel that the A credit grade gives us more hope than normal. A credit grade default rates are extremly low but still out there.

Official Prosper.com Forums

Prosper has brought back the community forums. There have been a few changes for the better of the community and continued Prosper success. First they completely removed access to the old forum to bring people onto the new forum. While this may seem like Prosper going back the their bag of tricks and erasing history yet again it was needed. Many of the older forums members had posted many negative things about Prosper when in fact their (older lenders) made bad decisions and have been blaming someone else (Prosper.com) ever since their ROI dropped below double digits.

Prosper also has enabled a cool new feature that we needed from the start. From the beginning of time at forums.prosper.com borrowers have had full access to the lenders side of the forums and could easily tailor their listings to meet exactly what we were looking for and created a edge for themselves over possibly better borrowers that were not as forum savvy. There is a very easy way to get access to all areas....simply apply for borrower or lender status. The group leader role may be more difficult these days but about a year ago anyone interested was granted the role as long as they had a phone and could respond to a system generated email.

The moderation team will have its hands full in the coming months as many lenders expect higher than normal lates and defaults which will in turn generate many more posts inquiring what happened to double digit ROI. Posting on the Prosper.com forums is no longer John Wayne style, every post is read and approved or declined by the Prosper.com moderating team. Big Brother...

Double Dagger

Today brings new hope to my late loan. The loan is showing the infamous double daggers. This is prospers way of telling lenders that they are attempting another pull from the borrowers bank account. This process can take up to 4 days to find out the results. The double daggers will change to a single dagger if payment is in transit. If the payment is unsuccessful prosper will follow up with phone calls and emails to the borrower. The borrower on this loan has A credit grade and has not missed a payment yet so I am hopeful that the late status of the loan is just a banking issue rather than the beginning of default status.
