Secured debt is backed by collateral, such as a house in the case of a mortgage, reducing the lender's risk. Unsecured debt, like most credit card debt, does not have collateral and often carries higher interest rates.

Perfection is accomplished by filing a financing statement with the appropriate official. To effectively perfect a security interest, a financing statement must contain (1) the debtor's signature, (2) the debtor's and creditor's addresses, and (3) a description of the collateral by type or item.
