There are two parts to any loan: principle and interest.
THE PRINCIPLE IS THE ACTUAL AMOUNT BORROWED.
THE INTEREST IS THE MONEY A CUSTOMER PAYS ABOVE THE PRINCIPLE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BORROW MONEY.
E. Napp

4. Collateral and Defaults
COLLATERAL IS WHAT THE BANKS HOLD (OWN) UNTIL YOU PAY OFF A LOAN (Examples?)
An UNSECURED LOAN has no collateral (Examples?)
