Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Statute of Limitations- Bad Faith
I understand that the statute of limitations defense against an old debt is affirmative and I must furnish proof to the court to that effect. However, is there any liability for a debt collector who files suit even in the face of obvious evidence that the statute has lapsed. (e.g. credit report shows last action date on account from 2002)

The creditor would be liable for your attorneys fees. You can collect attorneys fees for pro se representation. Take it to 'em killer.
