How borrowing works locally

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.
