Most credit card counseling plans can only decrease the amount of interest you have to pay per year. They don't actually decrease the amount that you owe on your debt.

If you owe 2000 in credit card debts and 4000 from a car repossession what will happen to you if you fail to pay and can they send you to jail for that?

I don't know about anyone going to jail for failing to pay on credit. Basically what happens is unpaid debt usually gets sent to collections but the credit card companies can file suits against you to garnish your wages so they can collect. Basically as far as that's concerned your credit will pretty much be screwed for a long, long, time. IF this is the case for you I would advise consulting credit counseling firms and see what they can do for you.

What are the costs and pitfalls of using charge card debit card and credit card?

With a credit card or charge card - the main pit-fall is interest. If you don't repay the whole outstanding balance before the end of the month, the card company willl charge you interest on the remaining balance. Charge-cards are often limited to one type of store - and charge higher interest than a 'standard' credit card. Debit cards can only be used if there is already enough money in the linked bank account to pay for the goods you're buying immediately. For example, if you try to buy something worth £100, and your account only has £75 in it - the transaction will fail.

If you have been given a credit card as a secondary card holder and have bad credit will this help rebuild your credit or is it all reported on the primary cardholder history?

Secondary credit cards are a very BAD idea ! Responsible usage of the card remains the 'problem' of the primary account-holder. If YOU misuse the card - THEY take the consequences ! If you fail to make payments on time (or miss a payment) - THEIR credit rating suffers ! Most credit card companies will issue cards to people with bad credit history - they just charge a higher interest rate, and give you a low credit limit. Once you prove you can be responsible with the account (by making the payments on-time and staying within your credit limit) - they'll usually lower the interest rate, and increase your limit.
