Morphology
The meaning 'debt resulting from using credit cards' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'credit' + 'card' + 'debt' (credit card = payment instrument; debt = money owed). This is a standard noun–noun compound and a cross-linguistically common financial construction, so a B1 learner who knows the component words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Credit card debt comes from the simple image of a plastic card that gives you credit, so you can 'buy now, pay later' and build up the debt you owe. So, credit card debt means the money a person still owes because they used a credit card.
