As we all know there can be times when we receive a few 'financial suprises' in the form of bills things like car accidents, family members getting stick thus requiring treatment, and anything else so an unsecured loan can be a great solution to these suprises. An unsecured loan is a good option because you do not have to place any assets as collateral should you not be able to pay the loan back in full. Some people do not have assets such as cars so that is why this type of loan is ideal for them.

Because there are no assets placed as security for the loan contract your credit rating will be checked by the lender. Your credit rating is based on your current income as well as previous loans that you have paid back, and credit that you have paid back. Secured loans have a lower interest rate than unsecured because they carry less risk. So it is never a good idea to spend money from a loan or credit card without a plan on how you are going to pay it back, because if you struggle to pay it back this will affect your future borrowing power.

The amount that can be borrowed depends on the lender and it can be up to $25,000 sometimes. The length of time to repay usually starts at 6 months and can go till 10 years depending on your agreement and the products offered by the lender. Because unsecured loans are a bit more risky for the lender the interest rates are usually higher than secured loans. The number of months that you are given to repay the loan depends on your lender, unsecured Loans usually start at 6 months and go up until 10 years. Some unsecured loans have fixed interest rates (never changes) or variable interest rates (can go up or down depending on the market), normally the lender will let you choose which one you want to go with, both have their disadvantages and advantages.
