The average credit card interest rate is 25%. Yes people shouldn't borrow money they can't pay back. However that doesn't change the fact that interest rates on credit cards are wildly high and entrap people in a loop of only paying the interest off. Bankruptcy is their only hope of escape from that debt cycle.
