QUESTION
Moved out of state where debt where incurred. Which state's statute of limitation applies to me?
Asked on Mar 03rd, 2014 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
My original date of delinquency on a collection is April 3, 2009. The debt was incurred in Connecticut, which has a 6 year statute of limitation on debt. I moved to Florida, which has a debt statute of limitation of 5 years, in January 2013. Which state's statute of limitation applies to me? I am applying for a car loan soon and want to start the process of debt verification and, if necessary, payment for deletion, but would rather wait until the statute of limitations is up before contacting the collection agency.
