Here are my 3 months+ lates in order of how late they are (first being the oldest):
B
HR (but with a DTI of 3%)
E
HR (again, DTI of 7%)
HR
HR (DTI of 3% - this is the ONLY one of the 9 who has ever attempted a payment)
HR with 3% DTI
HR
C
I admit I got greedy and did a free for all at the beginning with the HRs with really high rates. I've been sticking to Bs and Cs and like you, an occasional D. I've hit a few A and AA if the interest rate is higher than 10% but I think the absolute lowest bid I've ever made was a 9% on an AA.
What amazes me is that out of my 3+ months late ONLY ONE has even made one measly payment.
One thing I'd also like to discuss with Prosper is the possibility to have shorter term loans. 1-2 years.
I've talked to many friends about it and always give the same advice as I with Vegas - don't put in more than you're prepared to lose
