What is the statute of limitations for felony credit card fraud in Alabama?

Answer 1

It varies according to the type of debt. Written agreements, including Promissory notes and Oral Agreements are set at 6 years in Alabama. Open ended accounts such as a credit card are set at half of that to 3 years.

Answer 2

Alabama has a long list of felonies with no set statute of limitations. For those that do, such as credit card fraud, it is set at 3 years. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.

Answer 3

California has set it at 4 years, though oral agreements are only 2 years. The measurement is based on the last communications. The specifics can be found in Code of Civ. Proc. Sec. 335.1, 340.

Answer 4

Arkansas has set the statute of limitations at 3 years. A credit card is an open ended account. That will be from the last communications from the debtor. Please note that the credit card may be based on a different jurisdiction which could be longer! Check your agreement for the applicable jurisdiction.
