Hello all,

I have a dire situation that I have created through my gambling addiction. I have gotten help with my addiction and am clean for 85 days now.

I have stopped most of my payments since November of 2016 and have therefore been able to negotiate these terms in the past 2 weeks, please review and any feedback on the negotiated rates or amounts is appreciated.

Also, I forgot to mention... I have the following additional monthly expenses:

1.  Groceries - $310
2. Insurance (Health, Life & Car) - $394
3. Gas - $300
4. Internet & Phone - $210
5. Electric & Heating - $185

For a total living expense per month of $1,399 per month and debt expense of $6,636.81 for a total monthly expense of $8,035.81

My total monthly take home pay is $7,120.00

I also have $18,500 in my savings account. I am planning on using this amount to Settle the Prosper amount ($7,695) in full and eliminate that $641.25 payment per month, but I want to really try and get a settlement amount of around $10k for the Lending Club debt, that would free up $1445.78 per month and I would be able to make all payment plus have some extra available to use for my debt snowball.

Any advice on how to get a settlement from Lending Club for 10k???  Do I just let it go to third party collections and deal with them??

Thanks for all of your help!!

i am in a very similar situation to you - can you give me some sort of an update with your status - i have 75k of loans with sofi, 14k with wells, 29k with TD bank, 34k with discover, 33k with lightstream and 15k with prosper - only company to have worked with me so far is discover as they lowered my payment and interest rate for 12 months - everyone else will not work with me one bit so far - i have stopped paying all loans as of the last few months as i have a monthly net negative cash flow - how did you go about getting that settlement with prosper?
