Money lent to help with the purchase of a house or vehicle is called a secured debt. These physical things may be repossessed in the event that a borrower stops paying for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsecured debt, meanwhile, is lent on the borrower\u2019s promise to pay it back. For example, if you fall into credit card delinquency, the credit card company will report your non-payment and ding your credit score. That signals to other lenders that you haven\u2019t paid your debts, and are a risk to their business, making it more difficult to borrow again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legit California debt consolidation companies \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/about-us\/\">Accredited Debt Relief <\/a>\u2014 exclusively enroll unsecured debt.
