Loan Types
 
Secured Loans
 
Secured loans are typically loans for people who own their own home. The homeowner pledges their home as collateral for the loan, meaning that their home is at risk should the terms of the loan be broken.
 
Unsecured Loans
 
Unsecured loans are loans which are not secured against an asset. Although unsecured loans would perhaps appear not to be a risk on your assets, they in fact are as the debt can be recovered through court proceedings. The courts have the power to enforce sale of your home to repay the debt.

Debt Consolidation

A debt consolidation loan can be a very effective way of reducing your total payments on current loans. They can also make life a lot simpler by merging all your payments into one manageable monthly payment.

If you are currently paying off debts such as credit card bills or store card accounts at high interest rates then a debt consolidation loan could reduce your monthly outgoings considerably.

Car Loans

Car loans are typically secured loans but are available to non-homeowners because the loan is secured on the car itself rather than your home.

Home Equtiy Loans

A home equity loan can be a good approach to raising money from your home without having to sell it. You can borrow money relating to the equity you have in your home. It is important to remember that if you don't make the repayments on these loans, you could lose your home.
