What is an Unsecured Loan?
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 5:09 pm
hello
An unsecured loan is a loan obtained without collateral. A person obtaining an unsecured loan agrees to pay back the loan within a set term and signs documents attesting to such. This type of loan can also be called a signature loan.
The simplest unsecured loan is a personal loan from a friend or family member, with an I.O.U. as signature of agreement to pay back the loan. This type of unsecured loan should be well considered whether one is the lender or borrower. Large amounts that remain unpaid can be detrimental to relationships with family or friends. Either the lender or borrower may be dissatisfied with the rate at which the loan is being paid, and there is little recourse but small claims court if the loan remains unpaid.
