How long are you liable for a credit card debt?

As a responsible cardholder, you are generally liable for any credit card debt up to the statute of limitations as established within your state. This does not prevent a debt collector from continuing to pursue older debts, but it does generally prevent judgments on old debts as long as you advise the creditor or court that the statute of limitations has expired. Debt collectors may still pursue debt collection even beyond the statute of limitations.


Can you still be contacted on a debt that was written off in 1993?

There is no statute of limitations on collecting a bad debt. If you owed the debt in 1993 and never paid it, you still owe the debt. A judgment has a statute of limitations that is set by both the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and laws of the state in which you live, or the credit (or collection agency) does business "...whichever is longer". There are circumstances under which an 11 year old debt could be both reported on your credit, collected and filed suit on. If you suspect the statute of limitations has expired; it gives you a cause for disputing the credit report entry and a defense to the judgment.
