    You need to find out the exact state of your credit file before you start applying for more loans secured or not.
    You need to know if you have a CCJ as you'll need to arrange to pay it.
    Get copies of your credit reports from the credit reference agencies via the free trials or the £2 statutory reports.

    If you are looking into getting secured finance, you'd probably be far better off remortgaging, since you only have a tiny mortgage, as opposed to getting a secured loan (so your house is just as much at risk) at what is likely going to be a much higher interest rate.
