I just lots my dad December 18, 2006
I am his only child. I have been devastated because it was unexpected. I flew home and drove back with some of my fathers things. He had some debts. He owes $40,000 home equity loan on the house and he has about 21,000 total in credit card debt. Not enough money to cover the credit card debt. I was raised on my fathers property and I don't want to sell so I am keeping up with payments on the property. And with the funds I am getting will pay the loan on the home. However I don't have the funds for the credit card debt. What if I don't pay them what can happen. I have had people tell me they are un secured debt one card is $13, 000 and the other one is $5,000 and the other is $3,000. Not only is there this problem but my dad was in Oregon when he passed away he was on vacation and staying at my cousins house who by the way is a bad apple. She stole lots of things after my dads death. She has his gun which I reported and he ordered $3,000 worth if not more items from cabelous and had sent to her house I do not have these items and she denies having them. So The thought of having to pay debts on cards for items you don't have really stinks. Anyway what are or what can happen regarding credit cards if I did not get them paid. Please help
Thank you,
