What advice can you offer for someone termianlly ill unable to pay credit cards?

Call the companies and explain the situation. But don%26#039;t worry too much, as far as I%26#039;m aware nobody becomes liable for the debt after death, it will just get written off.

Is there any insurance or payment protection in place? If so then get this sorted asap. It should pay most of the minimum payment each month. Mine kicked in when I lost my job after being fired for severely breaking my arm.

I would say negotiate the smallest possible payment, then use the money saved from these payments to enjoy the last few months of his/her life.

Be blunt when people call. Sorry, I can%26#039;t arrange a long term payment, I%26#039;ll be dead soon. (My apologies if that sounds really harsh, I do know what it%26#039;s like to have to deal with this). If you are blunt enough and %26quot;shocking%26quot; enough, they%26#039;ll get off your case.

(Quite frankly I think it%26#039;s disgusting that incredibly ill people are fired by employers and then chased by creditors. You could just refuse to pay, on principal. What are they going to do? Take you to court? Pick on an terminally ill person? - mini rant - cancer is common in my family!)

If they are feeling guilty over not being able to pay, try to work with the credit companies... otherwise; why stress on the small stuff when your life is literally limited, I say screw em.... when the bill collectors begin to call, tell them... I%26#039;m sorry I am not able to pay, I%26#039;m dying!.... I bet the calls you get are limited, let the debt be taken care of when you die....it%26#039;s not like the credit card companies are going to come after you.|||Terminally ill? Spend like f@ck!
