If you fail to pay your credit history and score will be trashed. If you owe enough and fail to pay the creditors may take you to court and sue to garnish your wages. If your creditors don't take you to court they will most likely "charge off" your debt and sell it to a collection agency who will relentlessly hound you for years. It's much easier to pay than to deal with the bad consequences of not paying.
