Re: civil action summons
The statute of limitations in Florida is five years from the date you signed for the card, made a charge on the card, or made the last payment on the card. It's a good idea to have an attorney, especially if the amount they say is due is more than $5,000, but you are never required to have an attorney.
Re: civil action summons
They have 6 years to sue from last payment. If more than 6 years is gone then you have a statute of limitations defense. You should probably have an attorney. Feel free to contact my office if you would like to discuss further.
Re: civil action summons
It is a five year statute of limitations, but I have defended quite a number of these cases around the state and gotten the company to have to pay my fees, who is the plaintiff in your matter? Please call or e-mail me.
