FAQ
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.
Examples of unsecured debt include credit cards, medical bills, utility bills, and other instances in which credit was given without any collateral requirement.
If you file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your secured debt may be discharged, but the lender is also able to repossess the property that secured the debt. In other words, if you have a mortgage on your home and file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the mortgage debt may be discharged but the lender can take back your home.
Debt relief can take a number of forms, including reducing the debt, lowering the interest rate on it, or extending the period for repayment. Creditors are often willing to consider debt-relief measures when the alternative is total default by the borrower.
Junior debt, also referred to as subordinated debt, is debt that is considered to be of a lower priority in the debt and debt repayment hierarchy. It is normally unsecured and can be provided without any collateral, making it risky. Junior debt tends to come at higher interest rates than senior debt.
