it looks like he's saying the courts ruled that the SOL from the state that the creditor is headquartered in.... INTERESTING

. It will depend on the contract. Creditor HQ might matter, but location at time of sale -- creditor, you, and contract -- might matter more. Do NOT depend on the shorter SOL of a state you just moved to.

Soooo...how do you get a copy of this contract without having it reset the sol?
Getting a copy of the contract does not restart the SOL... The DoFD of the OC sets the clock ticking for both states SOL and CRTP once it goes to CO is set. SOL can be reset in some states with a new promise to pay in others not even that resets it. Judges dont like allowing other states SOLs in their courtrooms so it most likely would be either the state the creditor is incorporated in or your current states SOL.. Some states have something called borrowing statutes these allow you to use the SOL of your previous state if they allow it. You should goto your states laws website and research their SOL laws.
And remember, though it's likely that you can be SUED only in a state where you live, the courts of that state are not required to apply the law of that state to all parts of the case. It's common in complex cases for a New York court, say, to hear a case where the substance is governed by British law. Whether the state applies its own SOL, or another state's, depends upon the judge, the case law of your state, and circumstances.
