Hello,
Please search in Google for State Statute of limitation.
I could have answered that, if i knew which type of debt it is and which type of contract you have along with your state.
You should get the answer, there are a lot of websites that have State Statute of limitation.
If it is past SOL (Statute of Limitation), then they cannot take legal action against you.
Make sure to count the years correctly, The clock starts ticking when you make the last payment. The clock reset if you make a single payment during years.
For Example:
If you debt in 2004, never paid them......... but in 2006 you paid them $200, just to get them off your back.
If this is the case, then the clock resets and you SOL time would be counted from 2006.
Thanks!

What constitutes initiation of a legal action by a lawyer collecting for a credit card company or buyer of delinquent accounts?
Based on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the following steps must be completed by the first-party (lender) or third-party collector prior to initiating legal action: * Validate the debt (within five days after the first contact with alleged debtor) through a written notice which contains the amount, the creditor to whom the debt is owed, 30-day dispute statement, ability to request validation from creditor statement, original creditor request statement * If after thirty days go by without any contact from the alleged debtor, the collector is allowed to initiate legal action, typically with a letter that indicates that the customer did not take advantage of the 30-day dispute period and the collector is now taking them to court As an aside, the lack of a response from a consumer during the thirty day period does not constitute acceptance of the debt from a legal standpoint.

Can you make partial payments to a debt collector and stop a lawsuit?
Partial payments to a debt collector may not necessarily stop a lawsuit, as they can still pursue legal action to recover the remaining amount owed. It's important to communicate with the debt collector to try to negotiate a settlement and potentially prevent a lawsuit. Seek legal advice to understand your options and rights regarding the debt collection process.
As long as you are paying a debt collector something can they take any legal action?
A debt collector can take legal action at any time. That said, if you are making an effort to pay, and have been making those payments on time and in full, I would say their chances of winning a judgment against you in court would be fairly low. I am not a lawyer and you should consult one. Do you have a signed agreement? Have you breached that agreement in any way?
