Secured debt involves a tangible property which helps safeguard the creditor, since they can repossess the property in the event of non-payment. Unsecured debt is the direct opposite and will include your credit card bills, medical bills, rent and utilities-to name a few.
You may be able to keep it and continue paying the payment, along with an arrears payment, or you may need to return the property to the lender. 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.
