I assume if they were going to sue us they would have by now, or am I jumping the gun?Since it is so close to their 30 day's what are the chances of them validating?

SoL depends heavily on the state YOU are in and/or THEY are in.

SOL does not go by the state the CA or OC is in. OP was living in a different state when the account was opened then moved. Therefore it is possible to be sued in either.

Now I'm confused ... according to several legal websites, the SoL is determined by either the state the debt originated in, the state the OC resides, or the state the debtor resides in.
Meaning, if I lived in VA and had a debt (pretty sure it's one of those that stops the toll when you leave and resumes when you move back) originating in 2003, and I leave in 2004, the clock stopped at "1 year" ... and if I move back, it starts from that point.
Now, I live in FL, and my state doesn't have the "stop the clock" policy ... so according to MY state's laws, my SoL would be satisfied. But by VA's SoL, I'd still be legally liable. Therefore the OC/CA could sue using the VA law, right?
So what does the SoL go by? Not the debtor's state -- it couldn't if some states had the clock stop when the debtor moves. Or am I misunderstanding (which happens A LOT)?
No offense meant ... just REALLY confused!! o_O

However what they are reporting for the amount owed IS incorrect and only owe $1201 NOT $1708. But with the timing so close wouldnt they validate by now? for the amount of money you think that they would have validated by now.
