Unsecured Debt

An unsecured debt occurs when you borrow money but do not offer any kind of collateral. Most credit card companies and banks extend credit without collateral, basing the loan instead on your credit history and financial status. The interest you are charged on unsecured debt can vary, as it depends on your credit worthiness. Poor credit will result in high interest rates on unsecured debts.
