The debt will be paid from your estate. If there isn't enough, then the debt is discharged. The debt itself will not pass on to next of kin but a sizable debt might mean none of the deceased's estate does either.
The estate is responsible for the debts. Anyone on the credit card would also be liable for the debt.
* Leave the country * Change your identity * Hide in the backwoods * Die * Be declared insolvent or bankrupt. * Never run up any credit card debt.

Typically, the estate of the deceased individual is responsible for paying off any outstanding balances on credit cards. If the deceased person has a joint account holder or a cosigner on the credit card, they may also be responsible for the debt. In some cases, credit card companies may write off the debt if there are no assets in the estate to cover the outstanding balance.
No, it does not really die with the individual, but it could. The estate is responsible for settling any debts of the deceased. If the assets of the estate aren't enough to cover them, the debt will be discharged.

Your estate pays your debts after you die. If there is not enough, tought luck for the creditors. The only way for the debt to be passed along is if there is some contractual obligation on the part of another person. Such things would be co-signing for a loan, joined owned credit cards, joint owned loans (such as a house), etc.

You should name your country, In England, no, anywhere else, I dont know.
No. The credit card companies will try to get you to pay off your parent's bills but you don't have it. It is all volunteer. I was glad to learn this since my mother is 81.
