Can I go to jail for not paying a debt?
By WORLDLawDirect  [July 5th, 2008]

No! The only debts that you can normally be jailed for are failure to pay taxes and, in some cases, child support and alimony. You cannot be jailed for not paying a consumer debt, and it is illegal for a creditor or collection agency to threaten to have you jailed.
