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tell you that they will sue you even if the debt has passed the statute of limitations in order to try to collect on outdated debt.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.
