I am scared. will my dad get into any trouble ? I am scared , i feel like running away and i am literally scared Is it necessary to pay interests? not just the basic ammount which i used for getting membership ?

Answers:

1) Get your butt ready for a spankin! And yes, you just ruined your father's credit. What an irresponsible person you are.

2) Yeah your dad will definitely get into trouble for not settling is bill earlier amids mounting debts, what you need to do is to inform him and tell him what a prick you have been.

3) You need to tell your dad so he can pay those bills. Having unpaid credit card bills will damage his credit rating and make it difficult for him to take out a loan in the future, and if he needs a loan at some point, that could be a pretty big deal. Talk to your dad, apologize and offer to pay him back when you can. Time to step up, buddy. Edit: It's likely that your dad will have to pay the interest and late fees. Depending on what card company these are from, how long your dad had the cards, how 'good' a customer he's been in the past, his credit score, and.. how the customer service rep is feeling that day, he could ask them to waive some or all of these fees. It's a long shot, and you'll probably have to pay them, and they're getting larger by the day, so the sooner you 'fess up, the better. Just get it over with, rip off the bandage! You'll feel better when it's over, promise.

4) Yes your dad will get in alot of trouble and most defiantly face massive debt.if your dad wanted to go buy a car or get a cellphone where they have to review your credit your dad would get denied because of his bad credit ffrom the debt he owes from the credit cards...i think it would be best if you told your dad so he can pay it off

5) dont try to take a so called debt solution from anyone online or whatever else your just going to have to talk to your dad and tell him whats going on and also maybe get a part time job to help pay it off

6) You need to come clean with your Dad, he will probably be angry but he will prefer that you come clean than run away!! Yes your Dad can get into trouble and it can cause big troubles for him down the track, you need to tell him NOW because the amount is getting bigger with both interest and late payment fees! Good Luck

7) Man up and pay your bills. You have to take your responsibilities if you ever plan on becoming MAN enough to grow up. You might get your a** chewed, but that's better than being a LIAR and a THIEF!

8) Tell your dad the truth and you could also make a deal you will pay him back the money by getting a job or something (he may be easier on you). Either way you need to tell him, and soon before the bill gets too high.

9) first allow me to tell u a hard truth.. you were a thief when you used them! second your dad may go into jail if he didnt pay.. it is his fault too that he didnt raise u up as a good person plus letting his cards out of his pocket so u find them and use them.. the solution: 1- u must tell him and by that you learn how to deal with your mistakes in the future and what kind of mistakes you should never do again 2- bear the punishment, and remember it is just a matter of time and you and him will both totally forget this and will turn into a funny memory! 3- go to Katz.cd or btjunkie.org for all kind of games for free ;) and never pay for a software again :)) [kidding]

10) Tell your dad the truth about what you have done. You don't want your dad to go to jail, don't you? He would greatly appreciate your honesty and, hey, what's the worst that could happen to you if you tell the truth? Well, I guess nothing but just kill you...lol But really, you need to tell him the truth. Don't run away because the problem won"t run away.

11) You need to tell your father BEFORE his accounts are sent to a collection agency. IF he can pay it off now no long term harm to his credit if it is otherwise stellar. Please you were foolish do not compound that by literally making it so your father could not get a loan.
