Thread: Credit Card Debt.

I have several credit cards, some with payment protection, some without.

Last week, I was diagnosed with terminal Lung Cancer, and given 3-4 months to live.

As these card debts are un-secured, will the debt die with me, or will my Sister, be hounded for payment, as I live with her?

What distressing news, I am BUMPING you thread in the hope that someone can advise, it is my understanding that individuals can not be chased for another's debt.

Hi, BigBen999.

I like Andy, was sorry to read your post.
The debts are your debts and as you rightly say, will be no more when you pass.

Your sister should not be persued for these debts.

Regards.

Scott.

I'm so sorry to read your post BigBen.

As Scott has already said your sister won't be pursued but you should still get advice as we don't know your full situation. Now is the time to start looking at any financial ties you have, if any, and making clear your estate.

There are dedicated advisors in the CABs, at your local hospital.. lots of them do home visits so you don't have to worry about waiting or discussing private issues in public. They'll help you with any letters that need to be sent.

Do seek advice to get what you are entitled to and make your situation less stressful on all of you. There is always someone here to advise if you have any questions or just want a chat.
