Absoluutely, not! If they do, you can sue or go to court with that one.
The credit card company will file suit if it's more than a couple thousand, have a process server chase you down to serve you papers, and you will be summoned to court. Live in California and this has happened to many friends.

The companies you default large amounts of money with WILL sue AND GASRNISH WAGES LEGALLY if you're not careful. Each and every bank or institution.
Unfortunately at times all of us experience something where we are unable to pay due to illness, job loss, or some other valid reason.
The creditor cannot arbitrarily implement wage garnishment against a debtor. However, the creditor can sue the debtor in civil court and if awarded a judgment can execute the order as a wage garnishment.
Please note, the court does not recognize the inability of a debtor to pay their debts as a valid defense. This means that any creditor who sues for a valid debt is awarded a judgment which can be enforced in whatever manner the law allows. Likewise, many creditors have resorted to the use of binding arbitration which allows them to circumvent the usual court procedure.
