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.
Common reasons for a Luhn fail during credit card validation include entering the wrong number, mistyping digits, or using an invalid card number.

yes. just tell the redbox its a credit card, then just swipe your debit card.An Opposing Answer:A credit card is not the same as a debit card, and vice versa. If you process a debit card as a credit card when that debit card is not encoded as an alternative credit card, the transaction will fail.
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.
You can start by never paying over your limit on a credit card. You will have a good credit score that way and will always be approved. If you do go over your limit and fail to pay back the debt in time, your credit score will get worst.
The one possible disadvantage is - You would be charged a hefty interest and penalties if you fail to make payments on your credit card on time. And also it would affect your credit rating..
The Luhn check failed during the transaction because the credit card number entered did not pass the algorithm's validation process, indicating a potential error or fraud in the card number.
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.
personal counseling means whatever the the things that have known to your self does exist well and believing you are good enough .but if you fail to do it that's the best way to have personal counseling
a 0 or fail or if you did not do it
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.
Social Security, SSI, Veteran's benefits, and a few others are mostly exempt from creditor garnishments. The federal government CAN garnish these wages for taxes, spouse or child support payments.
