    Hi All - One of my credit card providers has finally angered me to the point I don't want to pay it at all (they jacked up my interest a lot without any explanation, and after they had said I could opt out and keep the old rate). My only income is Social Security. All my debt is unsecured. I understand Social Security or any funds resulting from it cannot be gaurinsheed (sp?) or attached.

    After that background, my question is: what, if any, recourse would the card company have if I were just to refuse to pay any part of it?

    Has anyone out there had experience of this type?

    Thanks,

    Mike
