Types of debt

Debt is not a bad thing, for many people it is a way of life. Debt becomes a problem when it gets out of control and you cannot afford to make the payments you owe on time, or in some cases at all.

Debt can basically be divided into two groups:

Unsecured debt is credit given to you without securing it against an asset, whereas secured is backed by an asset which, if you continually fail to make payments, could be repossessed by the lender.
