Default statute of limitation of credit card debt

I have been served with a Notice of Hearing; Proof of Service dated 4/4/07 for an unpaid credit card debt. I understand that the statute of limitation for a credit card debt in CA is four years. How do you exactly calculate this four years? Is the start date of the 4 years based on the last payment I made on this card which was 3/20/03 or when the check cleared on 3/25/03? And when is the end date of the 4 years? Is it 4/4/07, which is the date of the Notice of Hearing? If everything is correct, it looks like my case is just a tad over 4 years. Can I raise the statute of limitation as an affirmative defense? Please help!

I suspect that the case would have actually been filed in February or March, so I doubt that the SOL will be an effective defense. Check with the courthouse to find out when papers were filed. I believe that the SOL goes back to the date last payment was recieved.

SOL in IL is active up to 5 years from the last payment date on your account.

Does the SOL timer restart if you confirm the debt in some other fashion than just making a payment? For example if a collector calls and you tell the collector the debt is yours but do not make a payment does that reset the SOL date?
