Many reasons, and it varies by person. Some people didn't know what they were getting into and didn't take into account that their circumstances might change... they don't pay simply because they cannot. They lost a job, they don't have savings, or whatever. Sometimes you do everything you can medically to save a child and rack up massive bills, and then there are more and more bills after that because the illness or problem is long-term and you just can't make ends meet.

Other people could pay if they got a job or made some sacrifices, but the effort or sacrifices aren't worth it to them to pay the bills... they don't care enough, or they legitimately have more important things to worry about... so they declare bankruptcy or consolidate debts to get to a workable level.

Other people don't ever intend to pay their debts. They try to get through life by promising things that they know they will never do. This could be because of an addiction, a pathological condition, or just because they believe that society owes them a living...
