The holder of the promissory note can file a lawsuit against the signer/borrower in the debtor's state court of jurisdiction to recover monies owed. A promissory note is considered a written legally binding document and therefore is subject to the applicable SOL of the debtor's state of residency.

Can a credit card company sue you after 6 years?

Yes, it can even if the applicable statute of limitations on the claim has expired. A court will not refuse to accept a complaint for action just because the statute of limitations has expired. Nothing in any court rule forbids a plaintiff from filing an action that is beyond the statute of limitations. In fact, court rules require that a defendant must make an affirmative statement in the answering pleading that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations or that defense will be waived and the action may proceed even though the statute of limitations has expired. Once the statute of limitations has been raised as an affirmative defense, the plaintiff is required to prove that the SOL should not bar its claim.

The circumstances where an offer cannot be withdrawn under promissory estoppel is also known as?

Detrimental reliance (promissory estoppel), 181, 188 Cheeseman (2010) stated, "EQUITY: PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL The doctrine of promissory estoppel, or equitable estoppel, is another equitable exception to the strict application of the Statute of Frauds. The version of promissory estoppel in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts provides that if parties enter into an oral contract that should be in writing under the Statute of Frauds, the oral promise is enforceable against the promisor if three conditions are met: (1) The promise induces action or forbearance of action by another, (2) the reliance on the oral promise was foreseeable, and (3) injustice can be avoided only by enforcing the oral promise.Where this doctrine applies, the promisor is estopped ( prevented ) from raising the Statute of Frauds as a defense to the enforcement of the oral contract."

What does toll mean in a court action?

"Toll" in a court action context means to stop some type of time period, such as a statute of limitations, from running out. Tolling can be legal or equitable. It is legal tolling when a statute forbids a claim from being raised until some other action is completed. The statute of limitations will be tolled or stopped until the other action is completed. Then it begins to run again. It is equitable, if the person raising a statute of limitations as a defense has actively concealed facts from another person that would have informed that other person of the cause of action despite exercise of due diligence by the other person.
