If more and more people choose not to pay off debt, wouldn’t that disincentivize banks/businesses to stop giving out loans?

I’ve read a lot about how if you choose to not pay off your debt, it gets sold to a collection agency and then that there’s apparently no way for them to force you to pay it off. But I mean I doubt there’s no way that, that doesn’t impact you negatively. If it didn’t, everybody would not pay back mortgages, medical bills, etc. but if everyone did that, banks wouldn’t give out loans and hospitals would run to the ground if they got no money back, no? I’m kinda confused, how does this work?

You have what’s called a credit score, it’s basically a number that tells people how likely you are to pay off your debts. If you do as you described, your credit score will plummet and people won’t give you money anymore.
