Unsecured Loan
What is an Unsecured Loan?
Unlike a secured loan, where an asset, usually a property, is offered as security should you be unable to keep up the repayments, and unsecured loan does not require any such security.
Unsecured loans are usually for smaller amounts, £5,000 to £25,000, which is lent over a relatively short period of time of around 2-10 years. This makes unsecured loans ideal for funding modest purchases such as a new car, holiday or home improvements.
Unsecured loans can sometimes also be used as part of a debt consolidation or debt management program.
Unsecured Loans to pay off debts
Often people in debt owe money on credit cards, store cards, hire purchase agreements etc. This debt is not secured against a property or other asset. An unsecured loan as a means of consolidating debts and making finances much more manageable is therefore often a very effective method of dealing with a debt problem. Rather than making numerous payments to a variety of companies, just one monthly payment is made against the unsecured loan. In many cases, this way of dealing with debt has the added advantage of a lower rate of interest than many credit or store cards.
