The consequences of not paying back the credit card overdue
3. What are the situations when the credit card is overdue?
1. Some people do not often apply for credit cards
When a credit card payment is late, plan not to use the credit card at all, or just ignore it and don't pay it back or cancel it. This approach is very wrong! If you do not repay, you will be overdue once a month, that is, you will record a bad credit record once a month. If you do not repay for many consecutive months, you are more likely to be sued by the bank and be found guilty of malicious default. Your credit record will be worse, the amount of debt will become larger and larger, and in serious cases, you will be fined.
2. Overdue credit card payments
The credit card center of the card-issuing bank will collect the payment. Some people, due to ignorance and blind arrogance, not only do not repay the loan, but also escape by changing their address, mobile phone and other contact information so that the bank cannot contact them, thinking that the bank is helpless. This is also absolutely undesirable. When you apply for a credit card, your real name information is already recorded by the bank. Once you escape, the bank will discover your malicious overdraft and arrears, call the police, and the police will list you as a wanted criminal.
3. Unable to repay on time due to unemployment, illness or other accidents
In this case, the cardholder must proactively call the bank before the final repayment period arrives. Go to the credit card center to state your financial situation, state that you are not maliciously in debt, and apply for deferred repayment and interest discounts. In view of the cardholder's active performance and good credit record in the past, banks often agree to defer repayment and negotiate with the cardholder a mutually acceptable repayment plan, extension period, interest discount, monthly repayment amount, etc.
In this way, through proactive contact, the bank agrees to postpone the repayment and will not record bad records. However, it should be noted that the bank guarantees repayment as agreed in the future.
4. You are usually negligent and forget to repay your loan.
When you find that the loan is overdue, you must repay it as soon as possible, preferably in full. At the same time, call the bank's credit card center to declare that the debt is not malicious. If the previous record is good, the overdue time is short, and the repayment after overdue is good, the bad record may not be recorded. Don’t be careless in the future and be sure to pay attention to bank statement notifications and collection messages to avoid overdue payments.
The consequences of being overdue are still very serious. If you do not handle it in time, you may face the risk of litigation. Contact a legal advisor to solve your overdue troubles.
