"Secured creditors" refers to lenders or individuals who have provided a loan or credit that is backed by a specific asset or collateral. This means that if the borrower fails to repay the loan, the secured creditor has the right to take possession of and potentially sell the collateral to recover their money. Essentially, they have a higher chance of getting their money back compared to unsecured creditors who have no collateral tied to the loan.
