Credit card companies can bring you to court if you owe outstanding debts. They could end up garnishing your wages or even take your car if they win the case.
A good thing is to have one credit card, whether it be a Visa or a Mastercard. I say this because if you ever get into a jam most rental car companies will not take a debit card, it must be an actual credit card.
During events of emergencies such as car accidents, personal property damages or getting too sick, some credit card companies offer supplemental insurance for credit card. The case of being sick with unpaid credit cards will be handled accordingly with applicable laws.
Foreclosure makes your credit score go down. If you already have a car loan, this shouldn't change anything. I've never heard of them changing the interest rate. Credit card companies however can do almost anything they want. If your credit score goes down significantly, they can raise your credit card interest rate. Even if you've always paid on time and never had any problems with them.
There are many bad credit car loan companies that may be able to help. These include Car Finance 247, the Bristol Car Finance company and Capital One Loans.
any credit line that you have- credit card, car loan, mortgage and student loan
If you would like to rent a car but do not own a credit card you may be able to pay on a debit card instead. Rental companies understand that not everyone has a credit card and that this does not mean they have bad credit. All companies are different so it is best to check with them if they take payment via a debit card.
I am a doctor- but also go to doctors and take my kids to doctors (very often!). Blockbuster has had my credit card (for more than 10 years), hotels take my credit card, car rental companies take my credit card. ?Do I trust the doctor less than those companies? If I owe money, then they will charge my credit card- Does ANYONE have a (legitimate) problem with that?

When a person applies for a car loan, mortgage or credit card, the lender determines if lending money to the consumer will be a risk. Credit scores are one way to help credit card companies make the decision to issue credit. To determine if that person should be given a loan or credit card (apex)
no
None that I know of.
Credit card companies may call relatives that were given as a reference on the car loan. It is not illegal to call them, it is illegal to harass them.
yes everything but your life
I don't have an exact answer but for sure Chase and Capital One don't take credit cards. You can use credit card checks but no direct debit from credit card.
NO. Only a lender with a lien on your vehicle has the legal authority to repossess it.
In the United States, most rental car places do not require a cash deposit - unless your history with them is dismal. Rental car companies prefer having a credit card number on file - this allows them to add additional charges to your bill if you don't adhere to the contract you signed. For instance, if the car comes back dinged or dented, the rental car company can charge the repair cost to your credit card number. If you refuse to pay, that's between you and the credit card company - the rental car company will be paid by the credit card company unless you protest the charge as fradulent.
Yes, Car Rental Companies accept Secured Credit Cards. There are two types of cards. "Secured" and "Prepaid". Prepaid cards will be accepted at rental companies (or will be treated like a debit card). SECURE cards on the other hand are not like a credit card. The rental company has no way of knowing rather the card is secured or not.All secured cards say "debit", and have a Visa, Mastercard logo, etc. However, as with any credit card (secured or su-secured), they will take a deposit out on the card that covers the rental fee for your expected term. This will not be "charged", but "held" to your card until you return it, at such a time you can choose to authorize the payment to go through or pay the balance with a debit card, allowing the hold on the credit card to release.
