Re: Statue Of Limitations
What type of debt & when was the last action (ie last payment) made on the debt? I was wondering if the SOL might be elapsed. (not that they still can't sue you, but you can use that as your defense)
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Re: Statue Of Limitations
I found this on another board, it may be of use, though someone else will have to ascertain it's credibility.
According to Fair Debt Collection and IHateDebt.com, the California
statue of limitations on the collection of debt is as follows:
Oral agreements: 2 years
Written contracts: 4 years
Promissory notes: 4 years
Open accounts (such as credit cards): 4 years
