What happens when you buy a car on credit and then default on the credit card?
One of our readers, David, had this question:
What if I buy a 4k car with 1k down (total 5k) on a credit card and then make the minimum payments for a few months before I “can’t” afford them. What happens?

David,
If you finance a $4,000 car on credit and then default on the payments, it will ruin your credit. Let’s take a closer look at the situation though.
What happens when you default on a credit card?
Defaulting on a credit card sets a specific path in motion:
So, that’s the bad route. At every step along that path you will have the opportunity to make a payment arrangement and take care of the debt.
Now with that said, I think what you are getting at is that you want to purchase a car with a serious discount.
If you were to put $1,000 down, finance $4,000, and make the payments for a few months, you could try this alternate step:
For help with that decision, I can refer you to a couple of our articles, as well as a debt negotiation expert who can better answer your questions about that process.
Here are the articles for more information:

“Debt is the slavery of the free”
~Publilius Syrus
“These days, it seems like “debt collection” doesn’t have the same gravitas as when I was younger. Perhaps it’s nostalgia, where some things loom larger than life.
Perhaps it speaks to my comfortably middle-class upbringing — not paying one’s debts was simply unthinkable — or maybe people were already too comfortable with living above their means, even before the current economic crisis.
Whatever the reason, the term that used to seem ominous has apparently become rather commonplace. It’s lost its power.”
“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them”
~Ogden Nash
“Get ready, because this advice is the only sure thing you will ever find in the investment world. It’s a guaranteed can’t lose investment that will earn you between 12-25% return on your money. Plus, it’s an investment that’s available to almost anyone.

PAY OFF YOUR CREDIT CARD DEBT
It’s that simple.”
“It is possible to pay another man’s debts on his behalf, but it is not possible to make a guilty man innocent by suffering in his place”
~Carl Lofmark
“Right now the secret shopping firm Market Force is looking for people to have their taxes done for free as part of a mystery shop. Not only will all of your fees be reimbursed by Market Force, but you will make $70 getting your taxes done.”
“Debts are nowadays like children; begot with pleasure, but brought forth in pain”
~Moliere
“If you want to see your Experian credit score, you’d better hurry. Fair Isaac, the company that created the FICO score, will not be allowed to sell credit scores based on Experian’s data beyond February 14th, 2009. In the past, you’ve been able to check your FICO scores based on data from all three credit bureaus via myFICO.com.
For their part, Experian plans to continue selling their own proprietary credit scores to directly to lenders. In other words, lenders will be able to check your Experian score, but you won’t be able to check it yourself.”
“Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people”
~Wendell Phillips
“The other day I saw an interview with Dick Cheney and when asked about the market collapse, he said “No one saw this coming” – a classic political response, but not true.
Many people saw the housing bubble forming, just like they saw the tech bubble forming in 2000, but no one wanted to listen to them. The politicians rely on relationships with other leaders that agree with their ideas and squeeze out all naysayers, which put them in a position of missing very obvious market bubbles. “
“If I owe you a pound, I have a problem; but if I owe you a million, the problem is yours.”
~John Maynard Keynes
A reader (maclover), asked me to ask others if he was being too harsh on his wife for spending money on clothes. I am about to lay out all the details of the spending and earning power of this lovely couple and see what others think.
Maclover makes a great living. His wife is currently in residency and has a large earning power as well. So what is the fight about? Whether or not spending $500/month on clothes is outrageous? Maclover would like his wife to cut back on her clothes shopping. However, she refuses. Yet he is unsure if he is being cheap or frugal.
That’s it for this edition of The Carnival of Debt Reduction! Thank you for your submission, I enjoyed reading them!
How to repair your credit. The answer to that question is sought for hundreds of times per day in search engines all over the internet. The scary thing is that credit repair services, credit repair books, and even credit repair lawyers have been stereotyped with scams on a regular basis.
So with that being known, how do you repair your credit or choose a credit repair service and protect your investment? First you have to decide whether you want to repair your credit on your own, or if you’re going to hire a service. There are pros and cons for each, but quickly summarized, you will likely find a cookie cutter credit repair dispute mill before you find a reputable credit repair service. The odds just aren’t in your favor.
Not to mention that when trying to repair your credit, there will be no greater effort and care put forth than you, for yourself. So if you’re game to take on the credit reporting bureaus, it would be my advice to repair your credit yourself. But, I hear you saying, “what if I don’t know how to do that, and all those books are too wordy to know what to do?”
How to repair your credit when you don’t want to read 500 pages, or pay $3000 to an attorney or service:
It’s important to understand that many of the ebooks only offer re-hashed credit repair information at best, so look for those credit repair programs that will walk you through the whole process via video.
Make it a point to receive the full explanation on everything from ordering your credit reports for free to final last actions. It should also be laid out in step-by-step format. Not a bunch of rambling about techniques. You need a credit repair blueprint strategy that starts with step 1 and finishes on the last step.
Wishing you the best of luck in your credit repair efforts!
