How to pay off a credit card while in jail?

Might be going to jail for a couple years. How do I pay off my credit card?|||Do you have a mom you can have take over your checking account and have her pay the bill?|||This is going to be hard as your mailing and Internet privileges are restricted. I don't believe that you would even be able to write a check while in prison.

If you have the money and you have a trusted friend or family member, have them pay on the account.

Consider signing over Power of Attorney to that person if they'd take on the responsibility.

Honestly, if you're really going to prison for 2 years, you could just default on the debt. Once they find out you're in prison the creditors would write off the debt and walk away from it.|||Well, first, you would need the money before you get locked up. Wages paid while doing work duty in jail aren't much and probably won't even cover the minimum payment.. you probably would rather use that money for goodies from the commissary anyways! LOL





If you don't have enough money to pay it off while you are *away*, there isn't much you can do unless a relative is up for making the minimum payments until you get out, and then you paying them back, and picking up the payments where they left off.
