Ok. Here is the SOL for S.C.
South Carolina Statutes of Limitation
Breach of Contract: 3 years, (SCCLA 15-3-530).
NOTE: A partial payment or acknowledgment in writing tolls the SoL, (SCCLA 15-3-30).
Foreign or Domestic Judgments: 10 years, (SCCLA 15-3-600).
I use to practice law in SC up unitl 9/02 when I moved to WV.
The 3 year SOL in 15-5-530 would apply to credit card debts. While there are no SC court decisions saying as much, credit cards are contractual obligations. Absent a more specific statute of limitations applicable to the particular type of contract (either 15-5-520 or 36-2-725), the 3 year SOL will apply. (e.g. contracts under seal and secured by real property have 20 year SOL)
The 6 year UCC SOL applies only to contracts for the sale of goods. This would not apply to credit cards for several reasons. First, your obligation to pay the credit card does not arise from contracting for the purchase of goods. Goods in the UCC means actual physical products. Your credit card contract is a contract for a line of credit or a revolving account; not for a physical product. Also, you might never buy any goods with a credit card. Perhaps you only use it to pay for doctor visits; that would be for services and not goods.
Also, the UCC only applies to contracts between merchants and buyers. A merchant is one who regularly does business in, or holds himself out as regularly doing business in, the sale of goods. Your credit card contract is between you and the bank. The bank is not a merchant of goods with respect to your credit card agreement.
The UCC SOL only applies to situations like the purchase of an automobile from a dealer (but not a private seller), the purchase of furniture from a furniture shop, the purchase of a toaster from Wal-mart, etc...
Also, the 10 year "catch-all" SOL only applies when no other SOL could apply. Since credit card agreements are contracts, there is a specific SOL that would apply to them. Thus, the catch-all SOL won't apply. (This SOL only applies to very limited types of actions: foreign judgments, redemption, etc..)
So rest assured, the SOL on credit cards in SC is 3 years. That is one of the easier state's to figure out the SOL for. Ok. Here is the SOL for S.C.

What is the explanation for the concept of buyer's remorse?
You find a product, maybe a vehicle, that you MUST have. You "fall in love" with that car, so you buy it. Then maybe a few days later, you think, WOW I really can't afford this, or when you get the vehicle home, it really is not as "pretty" as it was on the dealer's lot and you say "What was I thinking" when I bought this. Now how can I get out of this foolish purchase?
Know that the Buyer's Remorse laws in all states do not apply to the purchase of an automobile. They only apply to unsolicited sales. A salesman coming to your door, uninvited, a tele-markerter calling you on the phone, these are unsolicited sales that do come under the Buyer's Remorse laws. Purchasing a vehicle where you visited a dealership and bought a car is a sale that you solicit and is not covered by any Buyer's Remorse law.
