What is the meaning of A promise made is a debt unpaid?

When you make a promise to someone, it is equivalent to you taking a debt from that person. And the debt is paid back, only when the promise is fulfilled. So think before making a promise. The quote itself is from Robert W. Service's poem, "The Cremation of Sam McGee." If perchance you have never read that poem, you must find it (it's out there on the Internet) and read it. Read it aloud, to your friends, at night.

If someone over 21 has a debt at there parents address if they don't pay that debt is the debt the parents and the address or the person who has taken out the debt?

The debt is the 21 year olds. Unless someone else in that house co-signed for the debt. Then they are also liable for the debt. It is illegal for them to ask you for money for someone elses debt even if they live in the same house as you. It is also illegal for them to say this is Credit Care and we are calling John Smith about his debt. Refer to the www.FTC.com website that is the Federal Trade Commission. You can file a claim against them. Also I would check out Dave Ramsey. His website is www.daveramsey.com he has these types of questions pop up all the time on his national radio show. You could also call him when hes on the air and ask him. I deal with bogas credit collection people with a sports air horn. I will warn them once. If they call back they get the air horn.

Can a person tell the credit card company that the debt they owe is someone elses as they gave funds to that person. I thought that if it was your card it was your debt?

I'm sure they can tell the credit-card company anything they like. Whether it makes a difference is another question. The card-holder has the contract with the credit-card company. There is no way they could legally go after someone else for payment of the debt, unless they were also a signatory to the account. That just seems common sense to me. Sorry I am not a lawyer though.
