No. If you have failed to make a payment or have fallen behind in payments, the merchant may call you, write you, or in other-way's contact you to collect the the debt owed. They will usually recruit a collections agency which are oftentimes registered with the state. If the merchant has threatened you by stating you have committed a crime or they were going to call the police and have you arrested, that's a crime. Contact your local (state) consumer protection agency as well as the Federal Trade Commission and file complaints. They are rather quick and effective when dealing with Unfair Business Practices Act violations. You may also file a lawsuit against the entity or individual who may have violated the act in any way. If you feel they have broken the law, contact your local police and and file formal charges, such as "trespassing"
No you can't as of 2009, but they can file a civil suit.
If you rent furniture, and stop paying and fail to return the furniture, you could be charged with a crime. It depends whether or not theft charges are filed and whether or not the DA decides to pursue it.
I'm positive that not paying for something counts as stealing, and could get you in jail.
No.

Going to jail.
No, you cannot go to jail for not paying at a restaurant. However, not paying for your meal is considered theft and the restaurant may take legal action against you to recover the cost.

Jail is not a penalty for not paying a bank loan. The bank can bring a judgment against the person who does not pay the loan back.
In Monopoly, a player can use the "Get Out of Jail Free" card to avoid paying a fine and get released from jail by playing the card when they are in jail. This allows the player to leave jail without having to pay the fine or wait for their next turn.
Of course you do, plus penal;ty and interest.Your jail is for the crime of trying to avoid taxes, not in lieu of paying them.
