They would be indebted to the landowners. They would have to find other ways to pay for the debts or be stuck to the land until it was paid off.
What would happen to the US standard of living if people lost faith in the safety of your financial institutions?
Everything would have to be paid for in cash, by cheque or electronic funds transfer.
Only if you get caught driving without insurance can that happen in most states. I wish it would happen in all.
The same thing that would happen if you didn't pay for any other charges. Charge off, collection agency, collection attorney, possible lawsuit, judgment, judgment action. This is a bit simplified but the basics are,your wages and bank accounts can be garnished, property can be seized and sold (seldom happens)etc. It would be in your best interest to consult with an attorney, most offer free or minimal charge consultations
You can put a house up for sale in foreclosure, but the foreclosure process could happen before the house sells. It doesn't make any sense, if you would like to sell the house, do so before foreclosure.

Sharecroppers who could not pay their debts to landowners could potentially face eviction from the land they were farming. They might also lose access to essential resources needed to sustain their livelihoods, leading to greater financial struggles and poverty.

Landowners often exploited sharecroppers by charging high interest rates on loans for supplies and equipment, resulting in perpetual debt for the sharecroppers. Additionally, landowners would often manipulate the accounting of crop yields and prices, leading to sharecroppers receiving lower profits than they deserved.
When sharecroppers couldnÃ?t pay their debt, they were often forced to grow crops just for selling, to pay back debt. For instance, they would have to grow cotton, instead of crops that were edible.
Landowners often took advantage of sharecroppers by imposing unfair contracts that heavily favored the landowners, resulting in sharecroppers receiving a minimal portion of the crop yield. They would also charge high prices for supplies and rent, making it difficult for sharecroppers to escape a cycle of debt. This exploitation perpetuated economic dependency and limited the ability of sharecroppers to improve their living conditions.
They would be sharecroppers.
In the post-Civil War South, sharecroppers who could not pay their debts to landowners often faced severe consequences. They could be subjected to eviction from the land they worked, and their inability to settle debts could lead to a cycle of debt peonage, where they remained bound to the land under oppressive terms. Additionally, they might face legal action, which could result in imprisonment or forced labor to repay their obligations. This perpetuated a cycle of poverty and dependence, making it difficult for sharecroppers to achieve economic independence.

In a sharecropping system, the land was typically owned by wealthy landowners or plantation owners who had large tracts of land. Sharecroppers, often poor farmers, would work the land in exchange for a share of the crops produced, rather than receiving a fixed wage. This arrangement often kept sharecroppers in a cycle of debt and poverty, as they had to pay for supplies and rent from the landowner. Thus, while landowners retained ownership, sharecroppers provided the labor necessary for farming.
Farmers who agreed to give most of their harvest to landowners in exchange for the use of land, seeds, and tools were called "sharecroppers." This system was prevalent in the post-Civil War Southern United States, where sharecroppers, often former slaves, would work the land in return for a share of the crop produced. However, the arrangement often led to a cycle of debt and poverty for the sharecroppers.
