When a collection agency buys a debt from a credit card company does a new statute of limitations start from the day it was purchased or does the collection agency's statute remain the same?
The statute of limitations starts counting immediately when you made the last payment to either the credit card company or the collection agency. If you ever make a payment to either of them the statute of limitations will start over. If you have not made any payments to the credit card company recently and the credit card company sells the debt to the collection agency, the collection agency's statute of limitations will be from the date that you last paid the credit card company. Furthermore, if the statute of limitations is over and the collection agency continues to keep collecting the debt, you can send them a letter (certified is the preferred method) to stop all contact with you. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), they would be required to stop immediately upon receipt of the letter (unless they are taking legal action in a court then they can send you legal notices only). If they do not stop, you are entitled to collect monetary damages as outlined in the FRCA. This does not stop the collection agency from reporting to your credit report. Your credit reporting falls under a different set of rules which basically removes most collections debts (except for court judgements) after 7-10 years.

Is there a statute of limitations on child support arrearage in Florida?
There is, but it varies depending on your arrearage. Failure to support is what is called a continuing condition. In other words, every month you fail to pay, the charge remains. Therefore, the statute of limitations does not even START until your youngest child is 18. Then, the clock starts ticking on the statute of limitations. If, at that time, you owe less than $25,000, the statute of limitations is three years. If you owe more than $25,000, the SoL is five years.Failure to support is a Class B felony and can rack up some serious jail time and hefty fine on top of child support payments. Arkansas is one of the states known to seriously go after "deadbeat" parents, both moms and dads.
