Overdue bank credit cards generally do not go to jail. Bank credit card overdue is a civil dispute, and generally only needs to bear civil liabilities such as timely repayment of principal and interest and compensation for losses. However, if the debtor maliciously overdraws and intentionally swindles, it may constitute the crime of credit card fraud.
