If you go to jail because you owe a credit card, you will still have to pay your debts according to the regulations after you get out of prison, and you will also have to bear the interest and late fees caused by delayed repayment.

Going to jail is a criminal responsibility, and paying debts is a civil responsibility. Civil liability and criminal liability are two different legal responsibilities, which do not affect each other. Prison is to investigate criminal responsibility, not to be exempted from civil responsibility. After getting out of prison, people who have the ability to repay also need to repay the debts they owe.

legal ground

Article 187 of the Civil Code stipulates that if a civil subject should bear civil liability, administrative liability or criminal liability for the same act, the bearing of administrative liability or criminal liability does not affect the bearing of civil liability; If the property of the civil subject is insufficient to pay, it shall give priority to civil liability.

It is possible that many people go to jail for using credit cards and not paying back the money. You should know that credit cards will not pay back the money, and you will be sentenced if you meet the conditions, so you need to pay back the money after serving your sentence. So don't do this kind of behavior, or the prison will pay back the money after doing it.
