November 20th, 2010 · No Comments

When unpaid bills are piling up, not to mention late fees and interest charges, it can be difficult to eliminate unsecured credit card debt. But what exactly is meant by unsecured? Unsecured means that the loan has no collateral to back the loan. For instance, a 125 second mortgage uses your house as collateral. A credit card, on the other hand, is not backed by an asset so therefore is classified as unsecured.
