rich61969 asked: I am being sued by a collection agency for an old (over 3 years) Visa credit card debt. I live in Alabama and the Statue of Limitations on Open Accounts is 3 years. I hired an attorney but he says that I probably will have to settle because it is not an open account but a written contract account which has a SOL of 6 years. He says this because the collection agency produced a piece of paper that I signed when I opened the account (basically it’s the credit card application). I researched on my own and most information that I found says that credit cards are always open accounts. I did find one place (Wiki Answers) where someone said that credit cards could be written contracts. Is my attorney wrong or can this indeed be a written contract in some way. I really need to know before I go to court. Please give me some type of solid backup to your answer and not just your opinion.

RAV94 asked: When I make a purchase with my debit card and go home to check my bank account , the purchase is already in the system. But when I use my credit card it takes at least a couple days. If there are any credit card companies that process as fast as using a debit card, please let me know, Thanks

i rock! asked: I requested a new credit card with a lower interest rate than my two cards now with the intentions of paying off the two cards with my new card. The new card credit limit is not enough to pay off the other two, however, so I don’t want it anymore. I requested it online, was “approved,” and just received it in the mail today. What will happen if I just throw it away without activating it?

Natalie M asked: I have about $6000 in credit cards and two car loans that equal $36,000. I would like to refinance my car loans and pay off my credit cards. Do you think anyone would give me a personal loan with a recent foreclosure on my credit?

meggiecakess asked: I’m 19 years old, I go to school, I’m a waitress at Applebees, I have my own credit card which I pay on time, and I would like to take out a personal loan so I can do some work on my car. It needs a bunch of new parts. I also need to get a few things for it. The loan wouldn’t be more then $2,500 to $3,000. What’s the easiest way to take out a loan where I will most likely get approved?
