 You are at the point in life where you are aware of what debt is, and to counter this, you may have taken out loans or two to pay utility bills as well as other expenses you have incurred.

Not all debt is the same however, as debt can be secured and unsecured. Here, you get the information on what unsecured debt is, and know if you have it. 

Unsecured Debt

What is Unsecured Debt?

Unsecured debt refers to money that has been borrowed by a debtor where no asset is pledged as security for the amount of money borrowed from the lender.

Think of it along the lines of a loan where you did not have to provide collateral to ensure that you are able to meet the payment terms of the loan.

Why is Unsecured Debt popular?

Unsecured debts are a preferable type of debt for many borrowers as they do NOT lose an asset should they not be able to meet the deadlines for the loan payments. 

Unsecured debt is a stress-free option for debtors as should they default on the payment, the lenders or mortgagors cannot initiate foreclosures on the property as the loan is unsecured. 

An advance with Unsecured Debt is that you have the option of debt-relief measures such as debt consolidation, debt management, and debt settlement.

Types of Unsecured Debts

Now that you have the full idea of what unsecured debt is, there are several types of unsecured debt you need to familiarize yourself with.

Personal Loans 

Personal loans are unsecured loans that a borrower can use for any purpose such as personal purchases, or additional financing for businesses. Common sources of personal loans include banks, credit unions, and online lenders who grant these loans to qualified borrowers.

Personal loans have a lower interest rate when compared to credit cards, and a good credit score would be advantageous to would-be availers of a personal loan. 

Though personal loans are unsecured, background checks and credit checks are performed by the lender. Additional documentation such as IDs, Tax Returns, and Bank Statements may need to be submitted as well. 

Credit Cards 

Credit cards perhaps are the most familiar type of unsecured loan, as you are able to use money funded by a credit line to pay for any expense. Initial interest rates may be as low as 15%, but these can rise up to 30% if you do not make your credit card payment on time. 

To counter this, always pay more than what is asked for your monthly statement. 

Utility Bills

Utilities such as gas, mobile service, and electricity are forms of unsecured debt as the most that can be done by the utility company is to disconnect your service. They cannot foreclose on your property and are considered unsecured debts. 

National Debt Relief Services

Student Loans

Student loans are often secured by students for tuition, books, and daily expenses. Student loans can be funded privately or publicly. 

Private student loans are sourced from banks, while public student loans are funded from the stage or government resources. 

Medical Debt

Many consumers have incurred debt due to the presence of disease, and medical debt remains among the more common types of unsecured debts due to the prevalence of many illnesses. 

Hospitals are not allowed to foreclose on any assets if they are unable to settle their medical debts.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Debt Consolidation is a negotiated debt settlement offer made between you and your creditors with the help of a Debt Relief Agency in Ontario. Some key benefits of Debt Consolidation are interest-free program, no upfront fee required, combined monthly payment into one affordable amount, no lawsuits, and many more.

Yes, your assets are safe from creditors. A licensed debt relief agency in Ontario will help you come up with an offer to your creditors that will make sure your assets will be out of the paper.

No, in fact, this is one of the great advantages of a Debt Consolidation Program. All wage garnishment will stop from the day you filed the proposal.

The effect on your credit score is not going to be severe. Your credit score will most probably go to R7 Rating and will remain in your credit report for another 3 years after you completed the program. This means that it will not be permanent and you will still be able to rebuild your credit score.

 

This varies depending on the proposal you will be discussing with the help of a certified debt relief agency. It is also worth noting that debt consolidation cannot exceed more than 5 years.

If a debt is shared, you need to file a joint debt consolidation offer to your creditors. However, in most cases, in which the debts are individually incurred will have no impact on your spouse.

After three missed payments, your debt arrangement with creditors will be broken and you will end up getting chased again for the original debt amount plus interest.
