In studying affirmative defenses, I'm kinda stuck with trying to figure out about statute of frauds. Some say that it doesn't really apply to credit card debt and should be left out of affirmative defenses.

What's everyone's thoughts about it?


Could someone take a look at this and explain what this would mean to a Georgia consumer? I marked the Georgia part in bold text. Thank you so much!
