A child under the age of 18 is not legally obligated to pay back any credit card debt. Their parents are also not obligated to pay back the debt for them. The teen, however, can be taken to court and/ or face criminal charges for filing a false credit card application and also face charges if they used a social security number from another individual who was over the age of 18.
