I. Course Description
Secured Transaction is a credit transaction in which the creditor is given an interest in property (personal
or real) to secure payment or performance of the obligation. There are two separate obligations in
secured transactions: (1) the underlying obligation to pay money back to the creditor and the (2) security
or collateral. The “secured” Part is the back-up. The primary obligation to re-pay the loan (promissory
note) on schedule. If all goes well, the Security Interest is never triggered (lender will exercise it if
something goes wrong).
A security interest arises when, in exchange for a loan, a borrower agrees in a security agreement that
the lender (the secured party) may take specified collateral owned by the borrower if he or she should
default on the loan. A security interest also provides the secured party with the assurance that if the
debtor bankrupts, he or she may be able to recover the value of the loan by taking possession of
specified collateral instead of receiving only a portion of the borrower's property after it is divided
among all creditor
