Boswd wrote:That all depends on whether or not it's past your state's statute of limitations. Some state's have longer ones then the CRA's 7.5. so check you state's and then i would send them a letter letting them know the debt is time barred and to cease and desist. Remember there is no SOL on trying to collect only on when they can sue and win for a judgment. And that also doesn't mean they can't or won't attempt to try and get a judgment against. If you ever do receive a summons, respond to it as SOL/time barred as your defense. If you don't answer and don't show up to court they can get a default judgment thus rendering your SOL defense meaningless. So brush up on your state's laws concerning this. Some states, I do belive California, that can't even attempt to sue if the debt is time barred. I wish all states would adopt that legislation.

When you say 6 years in NY; does the debt have to be in NY, you had to live in NY when the debt was acquire or you have to currently live in NY?
Boswd wrote:the state of NY is actually 15 years. just kidding. It's actually 6 years. What you have to do if find out when was the first date of deliquency that led to the chargeoff/collection. You should be abel to call the EX EQ and TU to find this out. If they put it back on they are illeagally reaging your account.
I do believe it's the state where you lived in when you first opend up the account. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
