What is the difference between a home equity line of credit & a personal line of credit?

BradPratt asked:


I mean both are similar, and can be used for the same reasons. What’s the difference, which ones are better to apply, which ones are you more likely to get approved of, and WHY are many banks not offering lines of credit/loans…but yet, DO offer “home equity lines & loans?”

      The bill they take your home equity loan because if you home up as collateral banks are more willing to you good name and credit rating there is no collateral personal.

      A home equity line of credit or HELOC is a secured loan. (house is collateral)

      A personal line of credit is unsecured in nature. (and harder to get)
