Now, a noncollateralized loan is essentially a signature loan. Securing a loan with nothing but your word is the fast track to thin ice. Here's why: your word as it turns out is worthless--not a criticism, an observation (that whole judgment thing). Being unsecured and defaulted upon, the courts are not going to view you in a pleasant light. That being the case, creditors have a dumptruck full of tools to bring to bear in their endeavor to separate you from the money you promised to pay. Among those tools are the replevin: a court order for you to pay, and failing to do so can result in a Go Directly To Jail card. Still failing to pay, the creditor can request a Conversion of Collateral. This is that "short, simple" part. This is essentially a different court order that makes your stuff the creditor's stuff--and that's where you bet the house.
