Personal Investment: Personal Loan Contract

My question involves personal finance in the State of: California


In the past I have made personal loans to relatives, friends, and friends of friends. Have to say that I have been lucky that 90% of the time I get repaid in the full amount, at the time they asked for a loan from me I made them signed a paper indicating that they received a personal loan from me in which outlines on how much money they received, expected date of repayment, and the date it was received with signature. I also request to give me a copy a valid driver license and social security. There were some occasions in where I was not able to recover my money due to lack of security deposit (signed car title, property title, or payroll check stubs). In those transactions I did not specify in the contract that they had to repay me back the full amount with 15% fee in which majority were made in installment payments. I was told by a legal source that I cannot get in trouble for lending money with interest rates since the borrower agreed to my terms and conditions. Is this statement is true? Since I have lost some money in the past (just the loan with no interest) I generate my own personal contract in which I ensure the terms are outlined asking the borrower to give a security deposit (signed auto loan, signed house loan [no lien or hold in neither loan], jewelry with specific outlined and valued by a jeweler, personal electronics that must exceed more than the loan asked). Is that legal to do? If so what can I do to improve the terms of the contract as posted below?
