EMCC/CAMCO ripoff PEMBROKE Massachusetts

Hi,
I live in MA, as well and it is not true that making a payment to bring down a debt principle tolls the statue of limitations for a creditor to enforce his rights.
In order for a creditor to enforce his rights a new renewed contract must be signed. A "Promise To Pay". And it must be in writing and for a specific amount. So, if you sign a "Promise to Pay" letter and say you are only promising to pay 2000 dollars out of the 3000 dollars you owe, the creditor can toll the statue of limitations on only 2000 of your bill. The "promise to pay" must not be misconscrude.

However the fault is not with the laws in this country, but with the Judges and greedy lawyers who work against you, especially if you go pro se in a counter claim. You must be on guard that every deception will be played between the debt collection lawyer and the judge. They count on the un-represented defendent not fully understanding the laws, and they deliberately see that the laws are broken on their behalf to collect their fees, and court cost. So beware.

Unfortunately once you send them a payment the SOL time clocks starts all over again

Make sure that cease and desist was sent certified mail return receipt requested or they will deny getting it. Regular mail will not work. If you sent regular mail then send it again.

The sol in california is 4 years. Tell them to go to well you know..

4 Years
Open Acct.: Reduced to writing-

337. Within four years:
1. An action upon any contract, obligation or liability founded upon an instrument in writing, except as provided in Section 336a of this code;

2. An action to recover
(1) upon a book account whether consisting of one or more entries;

(2) upon an account stated based upon an account in writing, but the acknowledgment of the account stated need not be in writing;

(3) a balance due upon a mutual, open and current account, the items of which are in writing; provided, however, that where an account stated is based upon an account of one item, the time shall begin to run from the date of said item, and where an account stated is based upon an account of more than one item, the time shall begin to run from the date of the last item.

PLEASE NOTE- THE SOL FOR A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT STARTS FROM THE LAST PAYMENT OR CHARGE ON A MUTUAL, OPEN, AND CURRENT ACCOUNT. THIS MEANS THAT ANY PAYMENTS MADE AFTER THE ACCOUNT WS CLOSED TO FURTHER CHARGES OR PURCHASES DOES NOT EXTEND THE SOL.

However, if the obligation sued upon constitutes an open book account, the statute of limitations begins to run from the date of the last entry on the account. Code of Civil Procedure 337(2). But an open book account becomes closed, and the statute of limitations begins to run, once the account creditor ceases to extend credit on the account and there is no further activity on the account other than payment being made.
