Solution

Difference between secured and unsecured loan is to be explained..

Secured loans are the type of loans in which it requires borrower have collateral in case if the borrower defaults. Common examples of secured loans are car loans, home mortgage. These kind of loans have low interest rate and have longer repayment schemes. If person repays the loan on time with consistency then the person can improve its credit score. If a person fails to repay the loan, it will also result in losing the collateral.

In contrary to this, Unsecured loans are the kind of loans in which it does not requires collateral. Under this the lenders are in high risk because they are providing the loans to the borrower only by accepting the words of the borrower . The borrower promised to repay the loan but if borrower defaults , then it would be sometimes difficult to collect a debt. Examples of unsecured loans are credit cards , personal loans. These kind of loans have high interest rates . These kind of loans are convenient and easily to get. When person pays on time , this would lead to increase in their credit score and then they qualify for the lower interest secured loans.
