Hi! I was wondering if a line of credit with a company is different than a credit card and what would the SOL be in Florida. According to my credit report the date of last activity on this acct is 11/1999 and I live in Florida. I was told that this acct was a line of credit not a credit card. Is there a difference in statutes? Thank you!


Hi Daisy

Line of credit is referred to open ended accounts like credit cards, overdraft credit accounts, and home equity lines of credit, store revolving accounts and other similar credit accounts.

The sol on the line of credit is the same that applies to the SOL of credit card debts because it is a part of it only.

Statute of limitations in Florida is 5 years based on the date of last activity. Since your account last became delinquent in 11/1999, you are out of the legal collection period.

After knowing the similarity between the two, talk to your credit card company and ask them to provide legal reasons on why you should pay the debt. Though, I must say that paying the debt will improve your credit ratings, but you have the rights to make a decision by yourself.
