Q: I believe the statutes of limitations on delinquent credit card debt in Mississippi is 3yrs. When does that 3yrs, start
Is it from the date of the last payment made on the account or does it start 180 days after the last payment made on the account
A: The statute of limitations starts on the date of last activity on your account. This could be the date you last made payment, but it could also be the date you last used the account, made a promise to pay, entered a payment agreement, or acknowledged liability for the debt.
