Moving to a different state does not change that fact that you owe the money if you borrowed it to make purchase. Wo yes, the credito card company can sue if the statute of limitatins has not expired. Under the federal FAir Debt Collection Practices Act, the creditor is REQUIRED to file suit in California.
