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.
Is there a statute of limitations on how long creditors can collect on charged-off accounts?
Statute of limitations is a term that applies to how long a consumer can be sued to recover a defaulted debt. It has no bearing on collection activity. There is a separate time period for how long a charge off can show on your credit report. A creditor can attempt collection on an unpaid debt forever. It's just that after these two time frames have passed, their collection efforts have no "teeth".
Can a credit card company sue you after fourteen years?
This will depend on the statute of limitations in your state but there are also other factors that will determine whether or not they can as well. The statute of limitations for your state is dependent on when the last time you made a payment or used the card. So, if you made a payment two years ago on the debt but it's been fourteen years since the last item was charged on your card you only have two years towards the statute of limitations not fourteen. Often, credit card company collection agencies will tell you that they will sue you even if the debt has passed the statute of limitations in order to try to collect on outdated debt. After the statute has passed the company has no legal right to collect it. Additionally, in most cases if the debt is more than 10 years old since the last payment had been made, it is not allowed to be on your credit report. Interestingly, if your states statute of limitations is five years, it can still be posted to your credit report until the 10 years has fully elapsed.
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.
