It's pretty simple: when people get too deeply into debt, they sometimes file for bankruptcy. Personal bankruptcy laws in the U.S. are probably the most indulgent in the world, though our Congress is trying busily to change that, using a bill literally drafted by a law firm for the credit card industry.
