Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Contracts: 10 years.
Open accounts: 3 years.
Lawsuits, which are filed but not pursued, become null three years after the last action taken.

These are specifically speaking of collections. Can anyone here interpert this?
