Credit card debts are considered open accounts.

Ohio - 4 years

Illinois - 5 years

If you are sued, the SOL that you would go by is the state that you are sued in.

If the collectors are currently sending you notices to your current address in the state you live in now, the suit %26quot;must%26quot; be filed and served at your current address in that state.

If they are sending notices, file suit, obtain a default judgment against you in Illinois, they can%26#039;t enforce it against you in your current state. You could have it vacated on the grounds of improper service. You would have to do that within 1 year.

P.S. Get a life eaglesonaperch. Or if you can%26#039;t, at least learn how to spell. Failing that, learn how to use spell check.

I believe there are no statute of limitations...they can not report a debt on your credit if it%26#039;s older than 7 yrs unless they have a judgment against you, however, if you pay $.01 to the debt the 7 yrs begins again. they can try to collect the debt forever...it%26#039;s your debt. but you just get a po box and if they reach you say that someone stole your identity and then play it off. only reason you should pay it is if they are suing you....or if you are buying a house and they make you pay it to fund your loan!

if you own the debt then you should pay it. Have some integrety! But legally it stays on for 7 years after your last contact; 10 years for bankruptcy. It doesn%26#039;t matter that you moved. It goes off of your social security number and that follows you everywhere! Rarely will they sue you for it. They mostly just threaten. But you should pay it. It shows good character.

So many terrible answers again! Doesn%26#039;t anyone research their responses any more??????

The state statute can be either where the debtor lives or where the contract was entered into. The creditor does have the right to choose the state with the longer statute but the creditors or collectors location is moot. This is covered in Section 811 of the FDCPA and in Consumer Credit Protection Sec. 1692i.

Here is the rule;

CONSUMER CREDIT PROTECTION Sec. 1692i.

--2) in the case of an action not described in paragraph (1), bring such action only in the judicial district or similar legal entity -

(A) in which such consumer signed the contract sued upon; or

(B) in which such consumer resides at the commencement of the action

NOTE: Actions involving Real Property securing your obligation --the venue is different. The rule is: Any debt collector who brings any legal action on a debt against any consumer shall -

(1) in the case of an action to enforce an interest in real property securing the consumer%26#039;s obligation, bring such action only in a judicial district or similar legal entity in which such real property is located.

Ohio SOL is 6 years

Illiniois SOL is 5 years.

Note, however, that Ohio%26#039;s laws regarding credit card %26quot;revolving accounts%26quot; is a grey area and not well addressed. Differant judges appear to be ruling differantly with them, and may consider them a %26quot;written%26quot; contract with a SOL of 15 years. I%26#039;m still trying to research this one.
