I had an eviction in MD back in June 07 and went to collections in Aug 07 and I made payments until about Jan 08 but never paid it off. So now it has been 4yrs the SOL in MD is 3yrs. Does this mean they can’t suit me for payment

I’m having a reverse situation. I purchased a car in 2000 in WI, SOL 10yrs. A year later I moved to MD, SOL 6yrs. The vehicle was repossessed in 2002 and a judgment was placed against me in 2003 I believe. I’ve heard nothing from Ford Motor credit since the vehicle was auctioned off. I know the vehicle was sold for 500.00 (which i believe to be below fair market value) and the blue book value was over 2000.00. I just recently went to court in September 2010 and my judgement was domesticated to VA, where I have resided since August 2005. Since my contract was signed in WI, but resided in MD afterward, where the vehicle was repossessed an resold….wouldnt my SOL now be for MD? Im going to court again in December and Im trying to get everything in order. Someone, help…please.

If Ohio doesn’t have a borrowing statute, and the credit card contract doesn’t say it must go by the rules of Delaware of Virgina (or another state), then the SOL is the Ohio SOL.

I have a debt from an apartment in Fl from 2004, that is showing on my report. I was never notified of the debt, and I have no idea what the $2702 could before.
The SoL in Fl for a written contract is 5 yrs, so it is expired, but I moved to Oh in 2006, I know they cannot sue me, but what obligations do I have to them, and how do I get them to take it off my credit report?
