Answer: A credit card that is overdue for half a month may have the following effects on personal credit record and financial status:

1. Damage to credit record: late repayment will be recorded on personal credit report, which may result in a lower credit score. This will have a negative impact on future financial activities such as applying for loans, renting a house, purchasing insurance, etc.

2. High penalty interest and late payment fees: Late repayment usually results in high penalty interest and late payment fees. These additional fees can further increase the amount owed and make repayment more difficult.

3. Collection actions: Banks or credit card issuers may take collection measures, such as phone calls, text messages or letters to collect debts. If repayments are not made for a long period of time, they may take more severe measures such as legal action.

Summary: A credit card that is overdue for half a month will damage your personal credit record, lead to a decline in your credit score, and may incur high penalty interest and late fees. In addition, the bank or credit card issuer may take collection action to recover the amount owed.
