It will most likely be turned over to a collection agency. Then it will be reported to the credit bureaus which will make it difficult for you to get loans in the future.

What happens for non payment on secured personal loans?

Personal loans


Can a credit card provider garnish your wages?

They can if they take you to court for non-payment ! The debt is yours - therefore the court can order part of your wages to be paid directly to the card company until your debt is paid off ! If that happens, there's nothing you can do to stop it - apart from quitting your job ! (Which would be stupid !)


What happens if you are over 3000 dollars in credit card debt and cannot pay it back?

The company will try to get you to pay. If enough time goes by, they'll sell your debt to a collection agency, who will do everything they can to get as much as they can from you. Your credit rating, of course, will go down and the debt will remain on your credit history for seven years. Contact the lending company and see if you can work out a payment plan. Many companies will set up a special plan if they think you're sincere and they can make back their money. They may also suggest a charge off, in which case you make one lump payment that's less than the balance. However, that reflects very poorly on a credit report. Whatever you do, keep in touch with them and show them you're proactive in trying to resolve the debt. * Bear in mind that either the original creditor or the 3rd party collector has the option to sue for the amount owed plus legal and court fees. There is often a misunderstanding relating to credit cards being unsecured debt. Unsecured debt simply indicates that there is not specific property being used as collateral to secure the debt owed. The lender/creditor can execute a judgment against all non exempt property owned by the debtor, in many cases even that which is jointly owned by a non debtor. The debtor should do everything possible to avoid a lawsuit!


Do debt consolidation companies arrest you for non payment?

No. They will contact you and ask you why you DID NOT make a payment to them. If you are on a very tight budget and can't make that payment, it is understandable for one month. If the second month, that you don't make a payment to them, then your account will be inactive and you will end up paying the creditors yourself.


What might be the consequences for non-payment of credit card debt?

Credit cards are considered unsecured debt. Unsecured debt simply means that specific property has not been used as collateral to "secure" the debt. A creditor can use standard collection methods such as phone and mail contact, as long as they do not violate the FDCPA. The creditor also has the option of filing a lawsuit against the debtor. If a creditor wins a suit (and they always do) a judgment will be entered against the debtor. There are several ways a judgment can be enforced, the preferred method is through wage garnishment, followed by bank account levy. Other options are the seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the debtor or a lien against real property (in very rare instances a forced sale of a home can be done). In the majority of states jointly owned property is subject to creditor attachment. In other words, a bank account jointly held can generally be levied by a creditor judgment.
