But the use of a credit card also means taking on additional debt: If the individual is careless in spending and thus the accumulation of that debt, then repaying the debt can become difficult; late fees accumulate; personal bankruptcy and/or a bad debt record follows; and then other aspects of the individual's life become more difficult as well."
