π Why Credit Card Debt Feels Overwhelming
Credit card debt is one of the most common reasons people seek help. At first, these debts seem manageable:
- β Low minimum payments.
- β Introductory interest rates.
- β The freedom to buy what you need, when you need it.
But then reality hits:
β οΈ High interest rates kick in.
β οΈ Minimum payments grow out of reach.
β οΈ Balances snowball into thousands of dollars.
For many, credit cards become a debt treadmill that feels impossible to escape.
π‘ Why Credit Cards Are So Tempting
Credit cards are convenient β almost too convenient:
- π Buy groceries or cover emergencies before payday.
- π± Keep your utilities or cell phone active by paying bills online.
- βοΈ Pay for travel or unexpected expenses instantly.
But the same convenience often traps people into long-term debt.
βοΈ Options for Solving Credit Card Debt
At A Fresh Start Law, we offer our clients two options for resolving credit card debt.
1. π Debt Settlement
We negotiate directly with creditors to reduce your balances. Creditors may agree to accept less than the full amount owed, especially if you can make a lump-sum payment.
2. βοΈ Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can eliminate or restructure credit card debt. But there are rules:
- π« You cannot max out your cards right before filing β that may be considered fraud, a criminal offense.
- π« Recent large purchases or cash advances may not be eligible to be eliminated in Bankruptcy.
ποΈ When “Credit Cards” Aren’t Really Credit Cards
Some store cards appear to be regular credit cards but are actually installment contracts. An installment contract gives the creditor the right to repossess the items you purchased if you fail to make payments.
Examples of this include:
- π Home Depot & Loweβs.
- πΊ Best Buy.
- ποΈ RC Willey & Floor & DΓ©cor.
- π Kay & Zales Jewelry.
If you fall behind on these accounts, creditors have the legal right to reclaim your purchases.

π€ Credit Card Debt β Frequently Asked Questions.
π³ Will Bankruptcy erase all my credit cards?
Yes, in most cases. Credit card debt is considered unsecured debt and can typically be discharged in Chapter 7 or reorganized in Chapter 13. The only exception is if you recently made large purchases or cash advances β those may not qualify to be eliminated in Bankruptcy.
βοΈ Can creditors sue me for unpaid credit cards?
Yes. If you stop paying, a creditor can file a lawsuit. If they win, they can garnish your wages, freeze your bank accounts, or put liens on property. Bankruptcy or debt settlement can stop lawsuits and protect you from judgments.
π Will settling or discharging credit card debt through Bankruptcy ruin my credit forever?
No. Your credit will take a hit, but it won’t last forever. Many people see their scores begin to improve within 6 to 18 months after resolving their credit card debt. Clearing the balances gives you the chance to rebuild.
ποΈ Can a store really take back what I bought on a retail card?
Yes, in some cases. Some store-branded cards (like furniture or jewelry accounts) are actually installment contracts, which means the items you bought can serve as collateral. If you stop making payments, these creditors are entitled to repossess the items you purchased. However, many creditors will not do this because the cost of picking up the items and reselling them isn’t cost-effective.
πΈ Is debt settlement better than Bankruptcy?
It depends. Debt settlement can reduce what you owe, but it requires lump-sum money available and depends on creditor cooperation. Bankruptcy is more powerful because it can eliminate debts even if creditors refuse to negotiate. Dorothy will review your entire situation and explain which option is best for you.
π Will I ever be able to get credit again?
Yes. Many clients are surprised at how quickly new credit offers arrive after either Bankruptcy or settlement. Rebuilding responsibly β with a secured credit card, small loan, or on-time payments β can help you bounce back faster than you might expect.
