The Worst Example of College Student Credit Card Debt I’ve Seen…

…is a girl who clocked in at $33,000 before giving up and filing bankruptcy. She told a tale of a new credit collection technique where the collectors call up and ask the student to pressure their parents for more money. Devious, but obviously it works.

Would you let your kid go through life without telling them not to smoke or explaining what drugs are? Then don’t let them be oblivious about credit cards, either.
