NO the last time i checked there is no debtor prison or jail for not paying a bill do not let these people give you a hard time either because they may have or even had been in your shoes with the same thing |

No....defaulting on credit card debt is not a crime in the USA. If they won a judgement against you and you refuse to pay...they will garnish your wages (if allowed by your state). They may also freeze your checking account. If you are currently unemployed or if you are on SSI - SSDI,..they can't take any money from you.
The only circumstance where you would go to jail is if there were explicit fraud involved...i.e. you stole credit card numbers and bought merchandise.....Otherwise, don't worry...you won't go to the big house for defaulting on credit card debt. |

There is no debtors prison in the US.
If they sue you they can (varies by state)
Lien your house
Lien your car
Garnish your wages (up to 25%)
Liquidate your bank account
Lien your tax refunds
Only way to get rid of it is pay it off, or file BK.
You CAN file BK on CC debt. You just have to pass some means tests (that was the 2005 change) |

Which country are you in? In Uk law, no you wouldn't be imprisoned for credit card debt. The creditors and debt collectors can make life pretty miserable though.
In the UK, the case would go to court and one of several things may happen. Either you get an attachment of earnings or benefits, which takes money directly from that money before you get it. The debt may be sold to a collections agency who may be willing to negotiate a manageable payment plan or they may bankrupt you. You need to get some help with this whatever the outcome.

there's no such thing as debtors' jail. additionally, plz know that due 2 job loss & dying economy, many ppl r struggling. many ppl cannot pay down debt due 2 $$$ shortage. ALL of this combined may spell modern day depression. if IF U really don't make very much & yer barely getting by, U MAY wanna protect what lil u have by closing ALL accts B4 they're frozen. u can do this as soon as u 1'st realize yer finances lack. closing accts must b done in a timely manner & NOT 2 L8. if caught early, u CAN stop yer accts from b'n frozen, cuz there Rn't any 4 creditors 2 freeze. u can cash yer paychex @ local stores like wal mart.
if they happen 2 freeze your account u can try maybe canceling any direct dep. 2 that acct. if u run in2 $$$ shortage, the LAST thing u need 2 do is keep a lot of $$$ in ANY acct 4 creditors 2 find. if checking's frozen I dunno if u can close it or not, but u may b better off just not putting anything in2 any acct b/c u need that $$$ 2 feed yer family & pay the rent/mortgage. by law, u come 1'st B4 any 1/thing. u & yer immedi8 household come absolutely 1'st. u put gas in the car, & pay the ins, & other immedi8 things allowed by law. |

They can attach your wages if you have a job now or in the future. They can lean on your car and this prevents a sale. They can lean on your home if you own one. Mostly, it lets your employer know you have bad debt and some will refuse to hire if you have a low credit score. It's best to work out a payment, even $5.00 a month..something. Usually the cc company will try to cut the amount down and stop interest. However, you can file bankruptsy but that follows you all your life.Having bad credit scores can make insurance cost more for Life, Home and Car Insurance. It's something to think about. Thanks to Bush you can't Bankrupt from a credit card. It used to be you could. Perhaps this President will end that. But NO< you will not go to jail. Debters prisons are a thing of the past. |

You can, but the process is cumbersome. To overcome this, banks employs collection agents (read "Goondas"). |
