When you get into debt, you borrow money to cover expenses or maintain your lifestyle, which can lead to financial strain. This can result in monthly payments that reduce your disposable income, potentially affecting your ability to meet other financial obligations. Accumulating debt may also impact your credit score, making it harder to secure loans or favorable interest rates in the future. If left unaddressed, it can lead to more severe consequences, such as bankruptcy or legal action.

What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed. If the mortgage is reaffirmed the homeowner continues to pay it as if the bankruptcy had not been filed, since the debt has not been discharged. If the debt is not reaffirmed, what happens to the mortgage depends on the policies of the individual lender.
If a bank fails, credit card debt is typically still owed by the cardholder to the bank or to a new entity that acquires the debt. The debt does not disappear just because the bank fails.
Legally there is no debt, if it can't be validated.
