If there is a default in the payment of credit card amount after the expiry of the due date, the bank would usally charge a rate of interest as agreed in the terms and condition. The bank cannot visit the house for asking the payment using unlawful means or musclemen. They can recover the money either from your bank account if its from the same bank or file a suit for recovery. They cannot adopt coercive means.
