After the applicable statute of limitations runs (typically four years on a credit card debt), the creditor will have a tough time collecting. If the creditor sues, you have to plead statute of limitations as an affirmative defense, but it is a good defense. ==Additional Answer== In some states there is a specific statutory period during which a creditor can make a claim against an estate. In Massachusetts, for example, once an estate has been filed for probate a creditor has one year to make a claim. After that period the creditor is barred from trying to collect from the estate. Check your state laws. If there is an executor then the estate must have been filed in probate court. If the creditor has already filed a claim against the estate in probate court then the claim will need to be paid before any disbursements are made from the assets of the estate. The creditor will not need to bring suit to collect and the claim filed will preserve its right to collect.
