That's a jurisdictional question. I would think that if you incurred the debt, defaulted, and were unsuccessfully collected on in one state, then that would be the applicable law.
That would be the argument I would make when they sue you, as they undoubtedly will.
You may get some comfort from a recently decided 9th circuit case, and here's a story about it.
