Gosh I'm probably so wrong about this, but the company I work for...is not a credit card company....when we have customers that don't pay we shut off their service. If they still do not pay we send to collections. After a certain amount of time we have to write off the accounts due to tax reasons. You are still responsible for the payments, they will still show on your credit report, but I've never heard of going to jail. I do not in any way suggest not paying your bills, I advise that you slowly pay them off if only $10 a month, its better then bad credit!

very illegal & just downright a dangerous trap to set yourself up for.  \nDon't do it...if you don't have the money DO NOT write the check.  It's easier to deal with late payments than jail!

You can definitely be convicted, as it is a crime..even if it's for a penny. It usually depends on the victim. Bus as the law states, there is a certain dollar amount limits - one level is a misdemeanor, next a felony, etc.

Yes n if that person don't pay they WILL come after you for the money and it will ding up your credit if they are making no or late payments!  Think long and hard before you ever co-sign no matter WHO it is!

Depends on the laws of your state.  I'd try to talk to both and make arrangements for payments.  Bank I don't think can put you in jail, but child support violation could.

No. they run credit checks to see if you've been evicted for non-payment before.

Not for Credit Card Debt. But yes for not answering a court summons.

Tell them their credit rating will be affected by not paying their bill.

You will always owe them until you pay.\n\nYou should not be thrown in prison/jail for inability to pay rent.\n\nThey may be able to garnish future wages if they can find you.\n\nWhy don't you mail them $10 / month until it's paid, then you are showing that you are trying to pay off the debt.

I seriously doubt it I'm trying to collect about 1m in past due bills from the NYPD, alone not to mention the rest of the country. The departments don't care if your credit score is bad just as long as you do your paper work, you kiss the right fannys, and don't get caught on tape beating a suspect.

No you will not get your money back if you are found not guilty. this is due to the fact that it is not mandatory for you to pay this. The reason people post bond is so that way they can leave the jail.

You could be.  You're credit rating will be screwed.. a lot of bad things will happen to you. How about paying them off?

No. Failure to pay is a civil crime not a criminal one. You can be sued but unless it's a large amount, you won't be. What will happen is you will get a negative feedback rating on the auction site.\n\nYou can be criminally charged if you use someone else's credit card information to pay for an auction, however.

You will not be arrested or go to prison unless it can be proven that you ran up your card with the intent to fraud.  \n\nDon't let the collection people scary you, they like to imply you will be arrested.\n\nCan you afford to pay a little bit each month?  Do you have any other debts?  You can work out some sort of agreement with the credit card folks.  Ask them to lower your interest rates.  \n\nBe sure to work out an agreement IN WRITING that if you continue to try and pay off the debt, they must agree not to place anything on your credit history.  Why pay off the debt and still have a ruined credit report?  \n\nUse the sample letter below as a template.\n\nGood luck
