You bet they can ... When accepting a credit card, the user (by using the card) agrees to the conditions of repayment. Refusal to make payments constitutes fraud and the credit card company can, and will, take any and all legal actions necessary to recover funds that were advanced to you to purchase something you couldn't afford in the first place.

How can a credit card company sue you when you were not working when you received the card and are not working now and have no cosigner?

In court, "Sue" just means "ask". The credit card company is just asking the court to require you to pay the debt. Yes, they can ask the court to require you to pay. The way THEY view it: You took on an obligation to pay for credit card purchases. You promised to pay for future purchases and be responsible with your finances when you signed the credit card agreement. Then, every time you used the card, you signed an agreement stating that you would pay for the purchases. Now you're claiming that it wasn't your fault, that the credit card company is responsible because they gave you a card when you weren't employed... It was YOUR responsibility to only purchase what you could pay for. The credit card company didn't have a method of determining your ability to pay for your debts.
