On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a court summons that I am being sued for a XXXX time for a credit card debt sold to a law firm that specializes in debt collection. The first case was dismissed. The summons states that they gained possession of the debt in the same day the bank charged it off, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It also falsely states that I had made partial payments towards this debt that has been received and credited during this period with last payment made to law office XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I was unemployed during that period of time and financially unable to make any payments to the credit counseling service that I worked with in XX/XX/XXXX to resolve my debt issues. My question is does the statue of limitations apply during the XXXX years that my account was sold to the collection agency? Is Howard Lee Schiff, LLC violating my consumer rights by re-aging a debit for the same party that sued me previously dismissed by the same court I must appear in front of again : XXXX District Small Claims Division on XXXX XXXX, XXXX? Massachusetts XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX states that I must be sued within XXXX years after cause of action. I interpret this to be when the debt was purchased in XX/XX/XXXX, not when a payment was last made in XXXX XXXX. Is my interpretation correct? Thank you.
