Debt collecting SOL is the point where you can't be sued for a debt. This doesn't mean a creditor or CA won't try to sue you... they just can't win in court.

So the 3 years, 6 years and 15 years, as stated above, indicate the time/years as to which I Can Not Be Sued? Is it AFTER the number of stated years or BEFORE? (I guess I'm still a little lost "lol")

Exactly, and credit cards are open accounts so that is a 6 year SOL. But always answer a summons.

It's confusing I understand. The type of account for SOL purposes on a credit card is called an 'open' account. This is different from the status of the credit card itself being open or closed.
