Repossession is the power of the creditor to take back goods
There are two types of loans: secured and unsecured. A secured loan is one that requires you to pledge something as collateral. For example, if you purchase a car, the creditor will usually require you to put up the car as collateral. On the other hand, an unsecured loan, does not require collateral. Using a credit card is usually an unsecured loan.
