Just looking for input...

I have a few cards that I was using for things like Amazon or whatever so I didn't use my debit card online, and long story short, I made bad decisions and they're now payments that I would rather not have. I am not specifically trying to nigger my way out of consequences of my actions, but I am more tired of being a debt slave to usury.

I own a house (mortgage is active), two cars that are 100% owned, and a dozen cards with only two of them being the subject of this post.

What would the potential fall out be, if I cut them up and walked away? I get the bad credit score - that game fucking sucks anyways and I am tired of playing it.. So then what? I have to pay for things in cash from now on? Any emergency money that I potentially would need at an immediate time that would be a loan that would what, be a higher APR or need collateral or something?

So I can scrape for 5 years and pay them off, Dave Ramsey style, or walk away and not have great credit for 7-10 years? Also, if some world war starts, who needs credit cards anyways?

You'll get your credit score tanked and they'll send them to collections. For seven years if you don't interact with the debt collectors EVER, it will fall off your credit report and no longer be counted. You likely won't be able get any kind of loan at all during this time, but afterwards you'll just need to build your credit back up.

At least this is what a guy at work told me he did.

Can confirm on the 7 years thing - I had a car loan I took out when I had turned 20 and bought a car that was above my pay scale. Ended up defaulting in the loan, they repo'd the car, and it fell off after about 7 years. I was still able to get credit cards in order to rebuild my non-existing credit to get the mortgage.

Now I am just wanting to have the cash-in-hand and walk from the stupidly obtained usury game.
