People often think they don't have anything valuable to use as collateral for a small secured personal loan - like you might get at a pawn shop. The fact is, the average person's house is crawling with junk that a pawn shop would be happy to hold onto, if you just know where to look.

Unsecured personal loans are a great way to get money in a pinch - but they just aren't available to everyone. People with poor credit history or bankruptcy filings in their past are unlikely to be approved for an unsecured personal loan. However, even if you've had trouble getting a personal loan in the past, you're likely to qualify for a bad credit secured loan.
