Life without credit cards is unimaginable. It’s a payment system that has revolutionized the way the consumers and the service providers such as the hospitality and the retail industry communicate. As the name suggests, this plastic card provides with funds on credit for stuff that you may want to buy.

Way back in 1887, an American author and socialist, Edward Bellamy spoke about buying commodities with a card in his novel, ‘Looking Backward’.

In 1914, US-based Western Union introduced a ‘metal card’ for select customers with an ‘interest-free period’. General Petroleum Corporation followed in 1924. This system of payment became so popular that during the 1920s and 1930s, it spread to other companies such as railroad, hotel chains, airline, oil companies and department stores.

The 1930s saw the launch of the ‘Bell System’ credit card by the American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) Company.

One card that changed the face of credit card and gave it the ‘global avatar’ was the Diner’s card. The credit card, launched in 1950 could be used for avail of general services, unlike its predecessors.

Auto loan bankruptcy is the auto loan that you can use after incurring bankruptcy. The main reason for filing bankruptcy is debt management. You should postpone filing for bankruptcy until such time that you have studied all options. Filing for bankruptcy should be as a last recourse.

There are two different types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7 (liquidation) which is where your non exempt asset is sold and the money generated are distributed to creditors to pay off debts.

Chapter 13 (restructuring) is where you establish a repayment plan so you can repay your creditors within a period of 3 to 5 years. Properties, in this instance, are not sold. The court can decide how creditors get paid and what debt percentage you need to repay.

Dischargeable debts in cases of bankruptcy include credit cards, banks loans, unsecured debts, leases, real estate and personal properties. Non dischargeable debts include child support, alimony, student loans, legal debts owed to state, tax debts, divorce settlement, claims from driving under alcohol or drugs. Bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years.
