It means one which is not subject to any security held by a creditor or creditors.

Melanie I'm trying to think for the life of me where that might be applied in practice?

If you own a Picasso (painting not car) outright -- not being used as security for a loan or owt like that -- that is an asset not specifically pledged --- which means it's available for the creditors.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Nicely put. Still if you have the car, keep it going for a few hunderd years and it might go up in value, then again maybe not

It's simple:-
Charged assets = assets specifically pledged
Non-charged assets = assets not specifically pledged
A house with a mortgage, or a car on HP, would be examples of assets specifically pledged.
