just came across this thread..surprised to see many naïve response..Credit card and personal loans, if you die, the debt dies with you..there will be provision to write it off..dont be stupid to get your kids/spouse to settle it off.. car and housing loans are different of course..

QUOTE(poweredbydiscuz @ Apr 3 2025, 01:09 PM) The bank can go after and claim from his estate. If it's not enough, then have to write off. Correct me if I’m wrong..this is absolute bs..CC is unsecured lending This post has been edited by youngblood29us: Apr 3 2025, 02:05 PM

QUOTE(GTA5 @ Apr 3 2025, 01:04 PM) But how does bank recover it's losses? Is it possible that a person just Yolo and take up as much cc card debt as possible, then just gg, knowing that the debt will not be passed on? Just wondering Those losses are immaterial..write off 30-40k against billions of profit has no impact..it’s not like daily people are dying with outstanding cc debts.. Also to add the amount of interest they gained from your outstanding debts..Net impact is still positive This post has been edited by youngblood29us: Apr 3 2025, 01:58 PM

QUOTE(poweredbydiscuz @ Apr 3 2025, 02:14 PM) You have a misunderstanding about unsecured debt. While it's a debt without collateral, the creditor can still go after the deceased's estate. Even if someone lent RM1k personally to the deceased, he too can go after the estate if he has proof. What if estate is transferred to spouse much earlier? So I don’t think there’s basis to go after estate In addition what I’m trying to say is banks cannot get back money from kids or wife..they are not obliged to pay This post has been edited by youngblood29us: Apr 3 2025, 02:44 PM
