As long as the defaulted doesn't cry how the bank "screwed" him or some other whinny bs about his it's unfair they can't buy a house or nobody wants to give them credit well default away. But most people blame the banks, CC company, politicians, the famous or infamous "they", upbringing , the spouse etc. Well basically anyone but themselves
