1. If the cardholder forgets to repay and finds it overdue, he must repay as soon as possible, preferably in full. Call the bank's credit card center and declare the non-malicious arrears. If the overdue time is short, the bank may not calculate the bad record;
2. When the credit card cannot be repaid due to unemployment, illness and other reasons, before the repayment period, the cardholder should take the initiative to get in touch with the bank credit card center to explain his financial situation, declare that he is not in bad faith, and apply for deferred repayment or installment repayment;
3. When the cardholder voluntarily applies for deferred repayment, the bank will often agree to defer repayment, and the bank and the cardholder will agree on a repayment plan acceptable to both parties. In this way, the bank will not record bad records, but it must repay on time after applying for an extension;
4. Credit card repayment information The central bank's credit information system rolls for 24 months, and the credit card overdue repayment record will be kept in the credit information system for two years. If the card is found to be cancelled directly after it is overdue, the information will not scroll, but will be kept for a long time. Therefore, after the cardholder is overdue, it is best not to cancel the credit card immediately. It is best to stick to it for more than 2 years and then maintain a good credit record.

Consequences of overdue credit cards
1, credit card late fee. The so-called credit card late payment fee refers to the fee that the cardholder should pay to the issuing bank in accordance with the regulations when the repayment date is overdue or the repayment amount is lower than the minimum repayment amount.
2. Overdue interest. After users overdraw with credit cards, there is generally an interest-free repayment period ranging from more than 20 days to more than 50 days. If the cardholder's repayment is overdue, all the expenses of the cardholder last month will no longer enjoy the interest-free treatment of the bank, and the circulating daily interest rate is as high as five ten thousandths, that is, the annual interest rate reaches 18%.
3. Bad credit record. Credit card overdue repayment records will enter the central bank's credit information system to generate bad credit records. China's personal credit information records have been networked nationwide. As long as individual residents have handled loan business in banks, applied for credit cards, or provided guarantees for others, credit reports can be found in any domestic commercial bank.
4. Litigation costs. If the credit card is not repaid for more than 3 months, the bank will ask a lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to the user and bring a lawsuit to the court, and the litigation expenses will be borne by the cardholder.
5. Criminal responsibility for malicious overdraft. According to Article 196 of China's Criminal Law and relevant judicial interpretations, malicious overdraft refers to the behavior that the cardholder overdraws beyond the prescribed limit or time limit for the purpose of illegal possession, and refuses to return it after being urged by the issuing bank. Whoever commits credit card fraud with malicious overdraft shall be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of credit card fraud, sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and fined not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan.
