An action to collect on credit card debt was barred by the statute of limitations under a state statute applicable to "open accounts," the Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled.
A credit card holder obtained a card in 1999 and stopped making payments in 2000. The bank "charged off" his account but it was then purchased by another company.

Dear Debt Adviser,
How long can a collection agency collect on credit card debts that are more than 7 years old? The statute of limitations on such debt is four years in my state. How can I stop collectors from contacting me, and what are the repercussions? Can they continue to hit my credit? - Lupe

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending).

Suing a credit card debtor after a state's four-year statute of limitations on contract claims has expired may violate the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act, a U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania has ruled in denying the debt collector's motion for summary judgment.
The debt collector was a lawyer who sued to collect on a consumer credit card debt regarding a computer the debtor bought six years earlier. He used a nationwide chart of statutes of limitation his firm researched, generated and updated regularly to manage their collection cases.

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) issues this final rule to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the official interpretations to the regulation. Regulation Z generally prohibits a card issuer from opening a credit card account for a consumer, or increasing the credit limit applicable to a credit card account, unless the card issuer considers the consumer's ability to make the required payments under the terms of such account. Regulation Z currently requires that issuers consider the consumer's independent ability to pay, regardless of the consumer's age; in contrast, TILA expressly requires consideration of an independent ability to pay only for applicants who are under the age of 21. The final rule amends Regulation Z to remove th...
