Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Iowa
Credit Card debt
12 or 13 years ago, my son had a credit card debt, but doesn't remember
amount owed or if it was paid off. They have not contacted my son or sent any
notification until last week. He received a letter from the credit card company
and wants payment of $1,800 and they would accept $900 if payment was made
right away. He is going to ask for a itemized statement of charges, but is there
a time limit of asking for payment? It seems strange that they had waited this
long to ask for payment.

Re: Credit Card debt
I suggest you consult with legal counsel. I am not an attorney authorized to practice in your state. However, I strongly suspect that the time for enforement of any claim has long expired. However, you must review this will local legal counsel. Gerald Hershenson
