Secured debt - A debt that is backed by real or personal property is a “secured” debt. A creditor whose debt is “secured” has a legal right to take the property as full or partial satisfaction of the debt. For example, most homes are burdened by a “secured debt”.
Unsecured debt can take the form of things like traditional credit cards, personal loans, student loans and medical bills.
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.
Credit card debt is by far the most common type of unsecured debt. If you fail to make credit card payments, the card issuer cannot repossess the items you purchased.
Examples of unsecured debt include credit cards, medical bills, utility bills, and other instances in which credit was given without any collateral requirement.
