A Free, Simple Guide to Personal Loans

All monetary debts consist of two simple elements: The sum owed and the interest charged for the time during which it is payable over. This is added to the overall amount of debt owed. Although not seen as much these days one type of financial agreement ensures that the first payments made to clear the debt are in fact just the charges (or interest) on the sum owed - a bit like having an interest only mortgage the difference being you will pay it off in the end. Others will repay the debt in equal installment with the interest as part of this amount.

Acting as the provider is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For both companies and individuals, arranging a loan is a way to increase their cash flow for a regular monthly outlay. This is by far the simplest and most reliable means to raise finance.

Another common type of debt, particularly in the western world anyway is a mortgage and is the main way real estate is purchased, but this is all it can be used for. In this instance, the lender is given security on the money advanced in the form of the title deeds of the house until the debt is repaid and settled in full. With this type of loan, should the borrower fail to make payments on the loan or default, then the bank or other financial institution has the right to sell your property! Although selling the property is one option, keeping it as an investment is another.

In some instances this method of security can be used when taking out a loan on other large items such as a car for instance. When a car is purchased using this method, it then becomes the security for the amount borrowed. The duration of the loan period is often considerably shorter, usually corresponding to the standard life of the car. In this case money lent for a car will have a relatively short repayment period.

The marketing companies are very clever at disguising unsecured loans and the vast majority of people do not even realize they probably have one. Credit cards, bank account overdrafts and other forms of finance all fall into this category. Although it is difficult to provide any interest rates as they will differ greatly from one bank to the next, if you want to lose the highest interest rate unsecured debt you have here's a tip: cut up those store cards immediately!

Occasionally it is has been known for financial companies to apply direct and indirect pressure for someone to use one of their services so that the company will have a hold over you. This type of abuse is known as predatory lending. Criticism of some credit card suppliers in a number of countries is not a new thing as they issue cards to individuals at extremely high rates of interest in an underhand attempt to keep them paying off even small balances for stupidly long periods of time. It would be very wise of you to be wary of any loans, or indeed any financial arrangements for that matter that seem to good to be true, because they more than likely are.

Online loans, true to their name, are loans that you apply for and receive online. You simply provide some basic personal information to the lending institution online and your application is complete. If you are at least 18 years old and a citizen of the United States, you are eligible to apply.

Very good article. You're right. Most people don't even realize they have unsecured high interest loans. If at all possible get rid of the store and regular credit cards asap.
