What is Secured debt, Roseville?
A Roseville bankruptcy attorney explains what secured debt is...
Types of debt:
Debt is money that is owed. If you owe money, your debt is either secured debt or unsecured debt. Secured debt is debt that is secured by some type of property.
Some examples of secured debt:
One common example of secured debt is your home mortgage.
You obtained a loan to purchase your home, and the bank secured that loan with the value of the home itself. So, if you do not pay the bank back, the bank has the right to take your home instead through the foreclosure process. If you owe money on a car loan, that debt is also considered a secured debt since the loan is secured by the value of your vehicle. If you do not repay the car loan, your car may be reposessed to cover the money owed.
Secured debt vs. unsecured debt:
Since secured debt is debt that is secured by some type of collateral, unsecured debt is debt that is not secured by any collateral. Some common forms of unsecured debt are:credit card bills, medical bills, personal loans, etc.
