Credit cards are instruments that facilitate revolving debt for consumers so that they may acquire goods and services and pay the card issuer the amount of the charge plus interest at a later date. Debit cards pay for purchases at the time of sale by deducting the amount immediately from the consumer's deposit account. creditor can not garnish your wages without a court order. Actually, the only thing they CAN do is to take you to court, which is a possibility. However, without such action, there is nothing they can do to you outside of calling you and writing you in an attempt to collect on the debt.
And that's how people get into debt. If you treat your credit card like a debit card to purchase things that are necessary in your life, you will do well with your finances.
