When does the statute of limitation start on a credit card debt that is a two year no interest no payment plan?

Al asked:


When does the statute of limitation start on a credit card debt that is a two year no interest no payment plan? Would the start date occur on the payment being 30 days late after the two year period – would this first 30 days past due be a breach of payment agreement? There was no attempt by the debtor to pay this debt after the 2 years promotional period. Credit debt originated in the State of California with a 4 years statute of limitation..

Ryan M Says:

It would start from the date of your first missed payment….THAT is the day you breached your agreement. Being one day past due is LEGALLY a breach.

Typically the SOL starts from the date or last activity or last payment — not the breach.

The first missed payment would constitute a breach of the contract. At that point the creditor should have taken action to collect the debt, including filing lawsuit if needed.
