Yes, but, the laws vary from state to state. In order to find out what they legally can do to collect on a debt, you need to check the banking laws of the state where the credit card co's bank is located, NOT the banking laws of the state where you reside! For example, Utah has very lax banking laws for banks. There is not a minimum percentage of interest that the card co can charge you...so, people with slow pays, or delinquent accounts will be charged interest at 47%. The credit card banks can also put a lien on you bank accounts, garnish your wages, etc. If you are struggling to pay your bill, you can always contact a non-profit consumer counseling service to see if they can negotiate repayment of the debt under terms other than the current terms. What this means is that they can put together a proposal so that you have little or no interest on your account, or, they can negotiate repayment of the debt at a lower amount then what is currently owing on the account.
