<p>Anyone have any experience with this and organizations like [Personal</a> Loans at Great Rates! Get a Personal Loan at the P2P Lending Marketplace - Prosper](<a href=“http://www.prosper.com%5DPersonal”>http://www.prosper.com).
[Fynanz</a> : Private Student Loan Marketplace](<a href=“http://www.Fynanz.com%5DFynanz”>http://www.Fynanz.com), GreenNote ?</p>

<p>I looked into GreenNote and recommended it to a few students, but I don’t know if any of them has actually tried it. I like the fact that the GreenNote interest rate is fixed at the same rate as the Stafford loan; the Fynanz top rate of 11+% is too high.</p>
