Yes, you can be sued for credit card debt. Once you default, credit card companies will sell your account to a collection agency. The agency will try to collect by calling you and writing demand letters. If that doesn't work they could file a petition in court and request for garnishment meaning the debt can be collected either through your employer, bank account or taken against your property.
