    thanx

    If this post is actually true hopefully they can bulldoze the property in spain, repossess your house in the UK and actually make you pay your credit card bill with the money from selling the house.

    However I suspect this OP and the Brothers Grimm have something in common, they both make up tall tales

    Robbie - actually its not real problem that you didn't post on a new thread, it was just that this thread then got hijacked by some trolls posts after so was unclear if your post was genuine or not. These posts have now gone.

    Basically as I know my ABC says. The will take action to recover the debts. This will start with CCJs but could get worse, turning into secured the debt on your house via charging order and even possibly forcing sale of the house as you are not actually using it as your family home.

    You need to contact them and arrange a repayment plan your should be able to avoid this action.

    If I can't pay a credit card debt what can the company do? Court? Prison?

    What I would like to know what happened to the original post. Did they go bankrupt, court order or prison for fraud.
