A web user asks, Is the Statute of Limitations on credit card debt, determined by the state you currently live in or where the debt originated?

I have a debt that I stopped paying on in Jan 2002. I acquired the debt while living in Texas and stopped paying it while living in Texas. My husband is military so we have lived in Missouri for the past 4 years.

The SOL for TX is 4 years for open accounts (credit cards) and for MO it is 5 years. Either way, the SOL has run out on this debt, however I am still wondering which would apply to us since we are military? We claim TX as our home/residence.

Thanks!
This debt was sold to a debt collector years ago.

I have known others that have written cease and desist letters so I am not so sure that SOL on card debt is a “myth”.

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
