 TITLE: Are Unsecured Loans a Good Idea? CONTENT: Check Your Credit Before Applying for an Unsecured Loan\n-------------------------------------------------------\nTaking out an unsecured personal loan can help you handle unexpected expenses or pay for big purchases. But it's important to make sure you're getting the best personal loan for your situation. Before applying for any type of personal loan, review your credit report and scores to see where you stand. If you have good credit, you're more likely to be approved for an unsecured personal loan, so you can get the money you need without risking any of your assets as collateral. END
