The time limit to collect an unpaid bill depends on the kind of the bill it is and what state you are in. In most cases the bill can be collected forever, but you cannot pursue legal action beyond 7 years.

What is the name for the amount you can charge on a credit card?
This probably refers to the "card limit" on a given card. It's the maximum dollar amount that can be charged on a card. It could be the maximum limit on a brand new card, or some other limit based on an unpaid balance or new restriction that "lowers the limit" on the card at a given time. If you have a card with, say, a $10,000 limit, you can buy up to $10,000 at one time (with no balance) on that card. If you have that card and have charged, say, $5,000 on it in the last couple of days, you have a "new" or "effective" limit of $5,000 on it.
