No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
In response to a letter from an attorney of a CA I replied:-
I would like to settle this, amicably. Please tell me how? But this amount of $1079.50 is too much for me!
I would be looking forward to hearing from you.

Look up your states laws. Look for SOL laws for debt in your state.
It is hard to say if that statement alone would restart SOL. If you did not acknowledge the debt as being yours it might not have.
