What Happens If I Can't Pay My Credit Card Bills?

Failure to pay your credit card bill can result in numerous penalties. The longer your bill goes unpaid, the more severe the consequences will be.

Penalties for Being 30 Days Late on Credit Card Payments

If your credit card bill is late by 30 days, you may be subjected to late fees and other penalties.

Additionally, you may receive negative feedback from Credit Bureaus, which will affect your credit score.

Risks of Being 60 - 180 Days Late on Credit Card Payments

If you are still unable to pay your credit card bill after 60 days, you may face even more severe penalties, including a lawsuit.

To start, your creditor may close your account in order to protect themselves from further financial loss. If this was an essential line of credit for you, having your account closed can be disastrous to your financial situation.

If your outstanding debt is still unpaid after several months, your credit card company may send the debt to a collection agency. Collection agencies tend to use any tactic they can in order to obtain payment. You may also face additional fees from the collection agency.

As a last resort to collect your debt, the credit card company may take legal action against you. You will have to appear in court and the judge may order one or more injunctions against you in order to secure repayment, including wage garnishment and property liens.

    How Can You Resolve My Credit Card Debt?

    At any point in this process, you can try to negotiate with your credit card company or the collection agency that has bought your credit card debt for a workable settlement.

    Options for handling your debt will depend on whether the debt is validly yours, whether you have enough disposable income to make payments, reviewing the credit card balance and suggested payments against your available income, and whether the credit card company will work with you in good faith to settle the debt. 

    Resolving credit card debt through negotiation can include trying to work out better terms, such as:

    • Reducing your overall debt amount
    • Lowering your interest rate
    • Lowering your payment
    • Forgiveness of late fees or other penalties
    • Forgiveness of the account balance
