Why is the debt being paid? Was the deceased the only account holder? These things are very important, because ONLY the account holder is responsible for credit card debt. There are a few exceptions, but generally even they can be voided via the appeals process. Therefore, the interest charges are only valid if the debt is actually valid. The party involved might wish to consult an attorney concerning this issue. If the debt was part of the probated estate it should have been paid through the court. An authorized user is NOT responsible for credit card debt of a deceased person. The exception would be if the person continued to use the card after the account holder's death, in which case they could be held liable for those charges only.

As a billing clerk in a medical office, I would ask at the time of service who is the responsible party for any uncovered charges. Most of the time the parents assumed responsibility for the charges-- but this is not written in stone. The "guarantor" information can be edited at any time and if the parents want the 18 year old to pay then he/she would become responsible for his/her balance.

Can you press charges on your parents for giving you birth control without you knowing what it was what about doctors?

Not sure your parents can be held responsible since it's the doctor giving them to you. Doctors are obligated to tell their patients what they are given and birth control is optional. If it was not yours though and your parents gave them to you I think you can.

What happens if your 16 years old and never had a license and you crash your friends parents car?

Their insurance company is liable to file suit against you (via your parents, who are your legal guardians). There's a likelihood of criminal charges. The law enforcement agency and the parents both have the option to press charges, even if the other decides not to. And your parents should give you the beating of your life, but nowadays that's a bit taboo.
