On the other side you will pay more for a nonsecured loan compared to a secured loan. That simply reflects the the lender has a bigger risk because if you do skip the country or just stop paying your loan repayments – that’s the balance between secured and no-secured loans.

Both options have their own merits – you will have to make the final choice based on your own requirements. Just consider your options carefully.

Think about this from the lending institutions point of view.  If you are having a hard time financially, then you are probably a higher risk for them.  They must weigh their risk to reward ratio with you.  The risk is that you will simply default on your obligation to repay the loan.  The reward to them is the higher interest rate that they can charge for such a loan.  If you are a good risk, then you should have no problem paying back this short-term loan.  If you turn out to be a bad choice for them, this will go towards their accounts receivable and a mark on your name.

At some point, you will have a hard time being able to get money from anyone or anywhere.  This is why a loan that is not secured with any valuable assets is  a much more dicey proposition for the lender.  It might not be the best move in so much as your long-term financial sense is concerned, but if you are in a tight situation and know that things are about to change, than this type of loan might work great for you.
