Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Credit Card Debt

My mother-in-law just went to court over an old credit card debt. The judge sat there and said that the statute of limitations was 10 years, but I have been researching and EVERYTHING I see says that it's 5 years for open accounts and that Credit Cards are ALWAYS Open Accounts.

You are reading the wrong information. Try a law library rather than the internet, or better yet pay a lawyer for a legal opinion.
