Statute of limitations is a term that applies to how long a consumer can be sued to recover a defaulted debt. It has no bearing on collection activity. There is a separate time period for how long a charge off can show on your credit report. A creditor can attempt collection on an unpaid debt forever. It's just that after these two time frames have passed, their collection efforts have no "teeth".
Credit Cards are typically considered Open Accounts. The credit card agreement you signed may specify the state laws that will apply to the account and collection activities associated with it. Read the contract and consult an attorney. In Florida Open Accounts are subect to a 4 year statute of limitations. In Michigan Open Accounts are subect to a 6 year statute of limitations.
As a responsible cardholder, you are generally liable for any credit card debt up to the statute of limitations as established within your state. This does not prevent a debt collector from continuing to pursue older debts, but it does generally prevent judgments on old debts as long as you advise the creditor or court that the statute of limitations has expired. Debt collectors may still pursue debt collection even beyond the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations applies to the length of time derogatory information, (late payments, legal actions and collection accounts) can appear on your credit report. There is a separate statute of limitations regarding the length of time you can be sued over a debt. This is established by state, rather than federal, law and varies by state. Even if you wait until a collection account falls off of your credit report; you still owe the debt. Collectors can, and will, continue to try to collect it until you pay it.
