Anyone have experience with Prosper Lately?

They just changed criteria guidelines and interest rates, wondering if that made it better or worse for people getting approved at reasonable rates. They also have to be like the only lender that uses an EX Plus Score off a soft pull to establish your rate and how much you can ask for

Hard Pull Vs Soft Pull Criteria

I'm having a battle with Sprint/Nextel over a hard credit pull on my credit report. When I purchased a new cell phone/service I specifically asked if they did a hard pull vs soft pull and the office manager said they would only do a soft pull. Well I discovered they did a hard pull.

Inq dings for auto insurance comparision?

Hi all,   I know most personal finance blogs and whatnot suggest shopping around for auto insurance every 6 months - my question though is if I do this, will it result in dozens of inq on my reports?   I currently have USAA but I wanted to see what other options are out there and I don't want to hurt my score doing it.   So, for those of you who do shop around, do you see negative action to your score after?  Do you tell them your score and ask the company to not pull?  Can you request a soft pull?
