Understanding what a personal loan is

9 July 2008

If you're thinking about getting a personal loan, make sure you understand what you're getting yourself into. A personal loan is a short term loan, usually with a fixed rate, and can be a secured or unsecured loan.

An unsecured personal loan has no collateral offered if you cannot make the repayments. A secured personal loan has collateral to take off you if you default on the personal loan. Collateral for a personal loan may be a house or a car.

If you have a bad crediting standing, you may still be eligible for a personal loan. Some collateral may be involved with a bad credit personal loan.
