If the statute of limitation in Michigan is 6 years-is it 6 years from the last payment you have made on a credit card.?

Yes, 6 years is the SOL on credit card debt in Michigan. It is not only the last payment made on the card. If you made a charge on the card after the payment then it would be after that. Basically the SOL clock starts ticking when the last activity was made on the card by YOU - not the credit card company. Once that period is up, you can no longer legally be sued for the debt. Although some collection agencies will try it. Learn your debt collection rights by reading up on the FDCPA.


I have not paid my credit card bills for over five years and I have no job and have disappaeared off the charts how long will they look for me?

You need to check your states statute of limitations for being sued concerning a credit card. I live in Florida. The SOL for this state is five years. After that point the credit provider can still report the debt, but cannot sue for it, even if the account is sold to a collection agency. The date of last activity on your credit card will be the starting date for the SOL.
