CC debts are generally considered open accounts. The Texas SOL for an open account is 4 years from the DLA. The SOL applies to litigation action only and does not mean the debt is no longer owed or collection procedures cannot be used. However, any repayment of said debt would have to be done voluntarily by the debtor, unless there are mitigating circumstances. Please be advised, unethical agencies buy and attempt to collect on SOL expired accounts by the use of intimidation, deceit, and out-and-out threats, such as the debtor will be jailed, lose all their property, their employer,neighbors, family, etc. will be contacted, and so forth. All such tactics are illegal and should be reported to the justice division of the state attorney general in the state where the debtor resides. This also applies to those collectors who claim to be or actually are collection law firms/attorneys.
In North Dakota, the statute of limitations for credit card debt is typically 6 years. After this time period, the creditor may not be able to sue you to collect the debt. If your debt is 15 years old, it is likely past the statute of limitations and you may not be legally required to pay it. However, it's important to be cautious, as making a payment or acknowledging the debt could restart the statute of limitations.

Normally it has to be within your states statute of limitations. That varies state to state.Also the amount of time which passed since your last payment was made would be the beginning of the "clock".

Indefinitely!! However that "statute of limitations" is different per state. These limitations prevent an agency from suing you or reporting your debt to the credit bureaus if the age of the debt is too long. Here's the limitations per state: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/statute-of-limitations-state-laws-chart-29941.html Experience: I own a collection agency.
