Collecting interest on debt is generally governed by state law. There is no correlation between charging of a debt and the creditor's right to collect interest. After 180 days a creditor will "charge off' an account that is deemed in default. Interests and penalties will continue to accrue until the account is settled in some way, such as paid in full, a settlement agreement, and so forth. Although credit card debt is considered unsecured debt, this does not mean the lender cannot employ legal remedies.

Do banks offer interest free credit cards?
Collecting interest is how a lender makes its money. While it is not in a bank's best interest to issue "interest free" credit cards, most do extend such offers for limited periods of time. For example, a lender might extend an offer for a card that is interest-free for 12 months. After that, the lender hopes the cardholder will keep and use the card though it would then have interest. So while you may be able to secure an interest-free card, it won't always be interest-free. The best way to avoid interest on a credit card is to pay it off each month.
