The SOL applies for the state in which the debt originated. Also, two questions:
1. Who is collecting on it?
2. Who is the attorney representing them?

It appears that they are junk debt buyers. Which means they probably didn't fill out the complaint correctly. Thats grounds for dismissal without prejudice (meaning that they can refile)

SOL for credit cards is is determined by the state that you reside in since that is the court jurisdiction that would apply. If they were to attempt to get a judgement, they would have to file in the county that you reside in, thus the laws of that state apply.

so you are saying that since trak america.s name is not on the summons that is grounds for dismissal? and also what does this do to any papers they have shown?
would that make them bogus or invalid? if sworn to be accurate because the name swearing the debt and amount was correct was a trak america employee

If they are a debt buyer (junk debt collector) and they have purchased your debt from Capital One, and Capital One no longer has any claim to that debt. You bet it can get tossed out. Now the thing about swearing to things on paper is interesting. Unless the person is there to testify to it, your legal council can object to it as hearsay.

Unless of course it is on a disposition written in court.
