I've been reading on the BB and I just want to make sure I understand. Statute of Limitations in Texas in 4 years from the date of first delinquency or is it the date major delinquency first reported. I had a providian account that has been "purchased" by these "people". On my equifax report, Providian lists the date reported and date of last payment as 07/2004. It lists the date of first delinquency as 11/2003. So which date do I count from. And if the SOL has run out, am I still supposed to send a validation letter? Thanks for your input!
