Generally the personal loans are taken for various purposes such as cosmetic surgery, tax payments, buying new car or some domestic gadgets, consolidation of debts or home improvements etc. Personal loans are easily available in all the developed countries nowadays. Such loan enables the borrower to meet his projected expenses in single stroke and easily repay the amount by convenient equated monthly installments. The rate of interest charged by the lending agency is considered as the cost of the loan which depends on various factors including the borrower’s previous credit records, financial status, and whether the collateral is being furnished or not.

The personal loan could be categorized in two basic classes like secured and unsecured, according to the requirement of security or collateral. The secured type of personal loan is ideal for the home-owners as they can easily use their house property towards the security for getting the secured personal loan at lower rate of interest from financial institutions. The borrower under this category is eligible for getting more loans if he so wishes. Also the lenders would willingly sanction their loans since they are sure of their money. They can easily recover the lent amount from the securities they have as the collateral guarantee. But there is some risk factor on the part of the borrower in such cases. In case of any default conditions the borrower may lose his control on the mortgaged property and his house may be either auctioned or sold out by the financial institution for recovering the lent amount with total interest and related cost thereof.
