Unsecured Loans FAQs
What is an unsecured loan?
A UK unsecured loan is a debt obligation which is not backed by the pledge of specific collateral unlike a mortgage where your house is collateral against the loan. People with bad credit may be eligable for this type of loan.
These loans differ from secured loans by the fact that they in theory provide less risk to the person taking out the personal loans due to the fact that their house is not used as insurance on their payments. Whilst this is true in theory, it is common that once someone who has taken out an unsecured loan defaults on their payments, they will have court proceedings taken against them and their home. This could in effect result in the loss of their home, turning what was once a less risk loan into a secured loan! Be extra careful to ensure that you can keep up the payments on these loans. Loan companies often act aggresively on payment defaulties to ensure the stability of their investment.
A Good Credit Rating And Credit History Are More Important With Unsecured Loans.
A good credit rating is perhaps the most important factor in determining the success of your loan application. Due to the fact that you are not legally providing your house as collateral. Loan companies need to see that you are a responsible citizen able to repay your debts. This is done in the form of a credit check where the loan company will see what is known as your credit score and thus your credit rating. This rating is based on many variables such as employment history, existing debts, how long you have taken to repay your bills in your lifetime and much more. Since unsecured loans are more difficult to get you will have to show a very good credit rating to be successful in your loan application.
Higher interest rates are the norm.
You will pay higher interest rates with these loans than you will with secured loans. This again is due to the increased risk of the loan company.

Definition of a Loan
"A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over time. The borrower initially receives an amount of money from the lender, which they pay back, usually in regular installments, to the lender. This service is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt."
