Can an unsecured loan become a secured loan?

24 June 2008

Unsecured loan users can sometimes find themselves in exceptional circumstances where they may be able to secure a loan when they could not before. Inheritance, for instance, can sometimes see someone with an unsecured loan in a much better financial situation. When such circumstances arise, is there a way to turn an unsecured loan into a secured loan?

While you will not be able to change your loan terms, you may be able to refinance your unsecured loan, taking out a secured loan instead. You will need to calculate whether this is advantageous beforehand, however. While it is true you may pay less in interest with a secured loan, exit fees could negate these savings if you have already completed a fair deal of your loan term.
