Re: Statue of limitation

There are no credit card accounts with "no signed agreements." The statute is four years from the date the account became past due.

Re: Statue of limitation

Most CA courts hold that the statute begins to run from the date of the last entry on the account, either payment or purchase. Typically this is the due date of the first missed payment that put your account in default, i.e., 30 days after that last payment you made. Mr. Stone is correct in CA it is four years.

What�s So Revolutionary About Our Debt Defense Practice?

Let�s start with our Fixed Fee: $299

We think everything else too, but you decide.

The collection firm wants you to ignore the lawsuit; in fact they depend on it. Fight back and defend yourself. Just don�t be surprised how quickly they fold (don�t worry -- we won�t remind you we told you so).

We know based on our experience that the debt collection firms so rarely continue to effectively litigate the case if the defendant retains an attorney. We are so confident in this fact, we know our workload will not be overwhelming and therefore we can provide great representation for an affordable amount. Plus, once you get back on your feet, you may need us for other legal matters, such as preparing a will or starting a business. Our goal is to impress you now, so you come back later. Pretty smart, huh?

As a convenience for our clients, we now accept credit card payments.
