　　She said the call to her office was particularly bad, when the debt collectors were told she was not there, they threatened to visit her at work next time in person. Herhusband is the reason for the harassment. He is a credit card slave who holds eight bank cards。

　　她说那些打到她的单位的电话尤其恶劣。当讨债人被告知她不在办公室时，他们威胁说下次要亲自去单位找她。她丈夫是引发这些骚扰事件的原因。他是一个持有八张银行卡的卡奴。

　　从上面的报道中，我们可以知道credit card slave就是”信用卡奴“，“卡奴”就是card slave了。卡奴是指一个人使用大量的现金卡、信用卡，但负担不出缴款金额或是以卡养卡、以债养帐等方式，一直在还利息的人。Mortgage slave(房奴)和child’s slave(孩奴)还可以苦中作乐，从中得到一些幸福感，但是一旦成为card slave，则会影响到一个人的生活的安定。

　　如今获取信用卡越来越容易，credit card holders(信用卡持有者)的数量也大大增加，随之而来的是defaults on payment(拖欠还款)现象和non-performing credit card debts(信用卡不良债务)的增多。
