Secured debt is debt backed or secured by collateral to reduce the risk associated with lending, such as a mortgage. If the borrower defaults on repayment, the bank seizes the house, sells it and uses the proceeds to pay back the debt. Assets backing debt or a debt instrument are considered security, which is why unsecured debt is considered a riskier investment find more about PMI services in Florida United Financial Counselors contact with us.

If you have a lien on your home and you lose your home do you still have to pay?

Yes. The lien is simply a method by which a debt is secured. If the lien is on the house and the house is lost, the only thing the creditor loses is the security for the debt. The debt remains payable. If a person buys a house and borrows $100,000 to help pay for it, that person signs a promissory note to establish the debt and signs a mortgage to establish the bank's lien on the house as security for the debt. If the house burns down and there is no fire insurance, the bank has lost the security for the debt but it has not lost the debt. The mortgage (security) is useless because there is no house, but the promissory note (debt) remains in effect.
