What Happens If I Don Pay My Credit Card Bills?
When facing amassing credit card debt, it is not uncommon for many individuals to ask “Why pay my credit card bills?” Granted, while this option is there and it may give you some extra cash for a few months, here are a few of the major repercussions you might be facing should you decide to go delinquent on your monthly payments: 1. Creditor/Collection Calls: This might be the worst part of a delinquent debt-the constant calls from creditors demanding their money. Collectors have been known to call 8-10 times a day, at home, at work, on your cell phone. And these are the ones who follow the rules. Creditors have been reported to speak to bosses, neighbors, and family members (which of course is illegal). Once they get you on the phone they can be even worse. They use a number of psychological techniques to demean you and force you to give them checking account numbers or other bank information. In other words, they will do anything they can to make you pay.
