But this is only a small part of a much larger picture. There are penalties, refinancing charges, variable and fixed rates to consider, among others!
If you are looking for financial advice, the Internet should be able to help you; and one of the most frequent queries involves the subject of secured and unsecured loans.
If you are borrowing money, think about whether or not you want to offer some security. Security is any asset with considerable value, such as a house or a car, which may be used as collateral against a loan.
In this sense, a secured loan is the financial assistance provided by the lender to a borrower, provided that the latter puts up his assets as security; if the unfortunate situation arises that he is unable to keep up the arrangement and repay the loan, the lender obtains the right to sequester the collateral as compensation for the unpaid debt.
In the case of a secured loan, the lender is assured of payment because of the presence of a certain asset as collateral. In contrast, an unsecured loan is that which is not put up against the borrower's assets, but against the borrower himself. There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these loans. It is best to consider carefully before taking on either one.
A secured loan is a good choice if you own some property. This is especially desirable if you unfortunately have a bad history of credit, since the approval is not solely based on your rating, but on the value of your collateral. A popular type of secured loan is the savings secured loan, wherein the borrower establishes a savings account with the creditor.
A portion of this account is frozen and held as collateral until the debtor pays back the debt. This is a win-win situation for both parties, since the frozen money still accumulates interest; if the loan is not repaid, the entire frozen amount (including interest) goes to the lender. The trick is to make sure to pay the installments regularly.
As far as unsecured loans are concerned, they have some pros too. Since the loan does not require collateral, this type may charge sufficiently higher interest rates than a secured loan.
But people with bad credit scores generally get rejected for such loans. This type of loan is popularly used as the mechanisms for credit cards, wherein the debtor is charged with varying rates on his debt, especially if he does not make the full payment of it in time. The interest rate pile ups on the debt in the form of penalties. The only way to stop this from happening is by making sure that repayments are made on time.
In order to make sure that the loan you take does not aggravate your monetary problems, do your homework before signing any deals.
