What can I do about my folks credit cards?

Have you called the credit card companies and honestly asked them what to do? I learned long ago that they couldn't read my mind, so when I wouldn't answer the phone, how did they know what was going on? Pick up the phone and be honest. Life happens, they need to know what has happened.
