Re: statue of limitation
The statute of limitations for debts is four years. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows a debt to be reported on your credit report for seven years from the date of last activity.

The statute of limitations on debt in Texas is four years. However, if your credit card contract invoked the law of some other jurisdiction for all matters associated with the card, the statute of limitations could be the that of the jurisdiction named, and longer than four years.
