Re-start the statute of limitations clock in Texas

I think any acknowledgment of a debt starts the SOL over... although i could be wrong!
Someone will be around shortly to answer for sure.

I agree with Ang. Any admittance to the debt would start the SOL all over again. I'd imagine that means a DV letter would start the SOL again...

How old is the debt?

I don't know if a dv letter would restart it as long as u don't admit to owing this debt in the letter but i could be wrong! I'll ask someone about this tomorrow and let yall know!

Its a good question! Ang, does it very from state to state as to what starts it? I know the SOL is different in each state time wise

I think, and this is my opinion, that it's the same in every state as far as what constitutes starting the clock over! If u admit to owing this debt it starts over from that time as far as i've been told!
But in a dv letter ur not necessarily admitting to the debt actually the opposite, u want them to prove u owe this debt!
I will ask in the morning, past my bedtime.

P.S. i've been working on my grand daugther's 1st b/d party invitation! They're SO cute just like her! :D

Awwwww! I'm sure they look great Ang!

Thanks for following up on this!

Never admit to owing even a portion of an alleged debt.

In Texas I am pretty sure a written acknowledgment of the debt with payment can restart the civil action sol.Partial payments and any validation requests cannot restart the process.

There's my two men i was gonna ask! Didn't even get a chance to PM either of u guys yet!
Thanks for helping out here!
:D

Thanks for all the replies. I asked the question on law guru and was told that a written acknowledgment was enough to re-start. I think I've re-started the clock. Does email count as a written acknowledgement? Or would it have to be a signed letter to stand up in court?

Thanks

Email counts I'm sure.

Always make sure that you owe the debt before you agree to it. Most people know about what their debts are and how much they are for aproximately. What they might not know is what collection agency is collecting on them. It is very important that you pay the right people.

I've very recently had an account placed in my files where the debtor made arrangements with "another agency". Well accounts in my files come directly from the creditor and have never been placed in collections for a 3rd party before. He had been duped and is now out a couple of hundred dollars.
