Question on Statute of Limitations

[rizeninme]

Here's my question- I live in Texas now, and I know the statute of limitations is four years- does it matter that I was living in another state when the debt was incurred?

Also is the SOL different for student loans?

The SOL applies to where they were to sue you-
They can sue you in TX or the old state- location determines SOL.

There is NO SOL on student loans-

Tolling may come into play, I'm not sure if all states allow it but I do know NY does.   Tolling is when you incurr a debt in one state and when you leave that state the SOL is frozen from the time you left. 

As someone has posted it's a good question for an attorney as for if all states have tolling and if tolling is indefinite or such.

And yes there is no SOL on Student Loans.

If it is considered tolling, then the debt could be sued over 50 years later?  How do you know if the SOL was put in a tolling status?  I have been moving about every 3 years for that last 20 years.  Does that mean that I could have some debts that are in a tolling status?

There are ways to research it online and by going to each states website.    I don't know if this applies to all states etc.     I would try researching it first  but if you can get a free consultation from a debt attorney that would be helpful.
