(snip)What they don't want you to know is that credit cards are unsecured debt - this means they are the last ones to get paid back (if at all). That's why they are the most aggressive. This is where a lawyer comes in - let them deal with the collectors and act as an intermediary. The funeral and other arrangements are stressful enough without having to deal with phone calls and letters. (snip)
I always assumed that most really financially intelligent folks knew cc debt was unsecured...that's one of the reasons for such a high APR!! Curious what the default rate is for cc...I'm sure I could google it, but I don't care that much LOL...
