Bankruptcy Terminology
Secured Debt: When you made a major purchase and are making payments to a creditor, you most likely signed a "security agreement." After you file your Chapter 7, you may need to make arrangements to pay these creditors or to return the property. If the property has been lost, stolen, sold or given away, you must explain in details the events.
Unsecured Debt: This includes most credit cards, medical bills, bank charges, repossession or foreclosure balances, etc. Some creditors may exert a security interest if you have purchased large items with a credit card.
