Many people are under the false assumption that a credit card is unsecured and therefore uncollectable. Wrong! You can be sued, and if you lose, they can take any of your property that is not exempt under your state laws. They can garnish your wages and bank accounts. Obviously not a home (except under certain circumstances) It is secured by the mortgage lender. You really need to know your state statutes to understand your liability. ALL CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE REGULATED BY THE FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT, A FEDERAL LAW. USUALLY THERE ARE NO STATE LAWS THAT APPLY. THERE ARE WAYS TO DISPUTE YOUR DEBT, LEGALLY, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE EDUCATED AND AWARE OF THE LAWS & PROCESS. I USED A COMPANY TO HELP ME DO THIS. Before you use a company to help you with this, check the Better Business Bureau. Some rate an F. Credit Cards are NORMALLY....UNSECURED...this means they are NOT secured by any property. Certain states will allow the siezure of certain property but mostly it is your wages and or a bank account.
