The phone calls will start and eventually your phone will ring off and on from 8am until 5pm. It will feel like you are being harrassed and there is nothing you can do (short of having your phone disconnected). They will take you to collections, garnish your paychecks, your credit will be ruined and you will have a hard time financing anything for the next 10 years after a settlement. Advice: pay your credit cards or go to a credit councelor to help you figure it all out. They can take you to court, attach your wages, take back some of the stuff you bought or maybe, if you're lucky, they'll only report you to the credit bureaus. Certainly nothing incorrect with the previous answers. What happens is you inevitably pay much more than you could have, in money and time and effort -- and especially trouble....and likely, the businesses involved will make more!

What are the positives of having a credit card?
Used properly, which means paying off the entire balance IN FULL every month, credit cards can actually help your personal credit rating and credit worthy score. Just keep a couple cards - in fact, if you have too many, that will actually do more harm than good on credit ratings. Also, don't max out the cards - EVER!! Doing that illustrates your lack of ability to control spending, which may put you at risk. Never charge more than you are capable of paying in full when the statement comes due. I do this with the two cards I have, and after a couple years doing that, my credit rating jumped up considerably.
