Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary clarifies common terms you may encounter in secured creditor matters.

Security Interest

A security interest gives a lender a legal claim on specified collateral to secure a debt.

Perfection

Perfection makes a secured interest effective against third parties and may require filing or possession.

Collateral

Property pledged to secure payment of a loan.

Default

A failure to meet payment or other obligations under the loan agreement.

Comparison of Legal Options

Options include negotiation, administrative remedies, court actions, or liquidation. The right path depends on your goals, the collateral, and the borrower’s actions.
