What's the Difference Between an Unsecured Loan and a Secured Loan?
This section provided by: 
A secured loan requires that you back your loan with something you own that’s valuable, like your home or your car. If you fail to pay your loan back, the lender has the right to take your valuable property, which is known as collateral in the banking world, and keep it.
The lender is facing a higher risk when making an unsecured loan. That increased risk can be reflected in interest rates that are higher than those for a secured loan.
It’s important to remember, however, that you do in fact have something valuable at risk even when your loan is not backed by collateral. Failure to pay back the full amount you borrowed on time and consistently can have a negative impact on your credit rating and increase the total amount you owe. With bad credit, it will be much tougher for you to get a loan or credit card in the future. So, always make your loan payments on time and in full to protect the good credit you’ve worked to build.
