Credit card interest

good question.
I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be held responsible.
I could do the research but I'll let someone else do it.

I like me!!!

Unless you make arrangements with the credit card company, you are liable for the interest.

If you call them and explain the situation, they may agree to freeze the account and allow you to make payments on the principal and accumulated interest after your release.

sounds good.
Do you have a source?

Re: Credit card interest


Have no fear, the interest will continue to accumulate while you're in jail. As a matter of fact, the % charged will probably increase because you fail to make your timely payments...

Mr. Noddy has a complicated family, complete with lunatic fringe. I made arrangements for a mentally ill family member to freeze his credit card and pay off the balance, bit by bit by bit. Of course he couldn't make any more charges.

Another member of the fringe allowed her boyfriend to run up nearly $3000 worth of charges. Then boyfriend vanished. Once again, the credit card company agreed to freeze the account as long as she kept making regular payments on the balance.

Finally, a little nitwit eloped on her credit card. When the marriage broke up, Mr. Wrong refused to make any payments on their mutual debits, but the credit card company agreed to freeze the account....

You've got to talk to them and make arrangements in advance.

I understand.
You know from experience.

if you watch JUDGE JUDY on occasion , you'll quickly find out how screwy things are in this world !
and i'm sure the iNTEREST CHARGE question has been answered on her show more than once !
sorry , but the prison does NOT provide a safe escape from credit card companies !

Credit card companies are "reasonable" but they would rather have some money than no money.

They'll empty your pockets if you stand still long enough.
