Alabama has one of the longer statute of limitations (SOL) for credit card debt. Credit card debt is considered a contract debt in AL. That makes the SOL 10 years from the date of last activity on the account.
The SOL starts on the last date of activity on the credit card. So, don't make any payments or you will restart the SOL. In Arizona, the SOL is 6 yrs on credit cards.
SOL stands for Statute of Limitations. It is the time in which they must notify you of the debt and bring suit to collect.
It varies from state to state. Most states are 3-5 years.
The SOL depends on the state and type of agreement. Also note that credit card debt is called an open end account. The SOL for debts that have expired (no longer required to pay) is not the same SOL used by credit bureaus.
