This question is in regards to the SOL and the timeframe for debts to drop off my CRs. If I have a debt that was last active in 2002 and it is purchased by a CA in 2008, what happens? I assume that the OC will still drop off my CR in 2009 and will be unable to collect after 2008 (SOL=6 years by me). What happens with the CA, however. Can they still legally try to collect after the SOL is up with the OC (in other words, does the SOL on the purchased debt start over when the debt was purchased)? Same for when the CA will drop off the report--will it take 7 years from the date the CA bought the debt, or will it drop off at the same time as the OC?
