When Secured Loans Are Obtained

By Matte Miah


All secured loans are different from conventional loans. When you take out a business or a educational loan, there is no guarantee that you will repay it. Your credit history speaks to the fact that you are likely to, and there are penalties if you don't, but there is still no guarantee.

Using a piece of property as collateral makes a debt a secured loan. If the loan is not repaid on time, the property reverts to or becomes the property of the loan holder. The most common scenario is a mortgage or car loan-- if you quit paying back the debt, the lender seizes the vehicle or house and is well within their rights to do so.

Not everyone is extended a choice about the type of loan they are offered. Unsecured debt is generally offered only to people with good credit histories and ratings, and not available for those without. But often, almost anyone is eligible for a secured loan, because the risk to the lender is lessened by so much. The ability to repossess an item means they are highly unlikely to lose, financially speaking.

Sometimes, even people with good credit scores and histories are attracted to these options because they have better interest rates. In order to make sure that the lender makes money, they calculate their interest rates for unsecured debt assuming a certain percentage of defaulters. Rates on secured debt can be significantly lower, because of this.

Sometimes legal involvement is necessary if a lender wants to exercise their right to repossession. It depends on what state the property and the lender are in. This is more common with mortgages than with car loans, and may require the lender to prove in court that they have warned the debtor, asked for payment, and not received it.

Not everyone has a choice about taking out unsecured or secured loans or even remortgages If a choice is given to you, there are pros and cons with each.
