Prosper Debt Sale In Progress

As I mentioned several days ago a debt sale is about to be completed.

I have had 3 loans sold so far (I will update this page if more are sold)…

  1. B Credit @15.16% interest rate, non-homeowner, sold for 9.54% of principal (borrower had not made a single payment).
  2. C Credit @ 25% interest rate, homeowner, sold for 12.74% of principal.
  3. B Credit @ 14.5% interest rate, homeowner, sold for 12.49% of principal.

I also got this from LazyManAndMoney.  It is a bit anecdotal, but it adds to the collective knowledge.

I’ve had about 12 maybe more. They’ve all been about $4 on a $43 remaining principle. Each one is nearly uniform in nature differing by maybe 10-12 cents in either direction.

Update: Prosper released the official debt sale results.

Wow! Texas loans were singled out.

On this we will agree to disagree.

Texas is a debtor-friendly state. Among other difficulties, wage garnishment is prohibited entirely.

That’s what’s up with Texas. I got just about 7.4% for my defaulted E grade loan.

I looked up wage garnishment in Texas and found this:
“44. Texas Wage Garnishment

Wages cannot be attached or garnished, except for child support.

WARNING For individuals living in Texas who are paid from an out of state location, there is case law (Baumgardner vs. Sou Pacific 177 S.W. 2d 317) to support taking a judgment from Texas, domesticating the judgment in the foreign state, then filing the wage garnishment there. Many creditors have used this strategy successfully. “
