In XXXX Legal Recovery Law Offices XXXX Inc., in XXXX XXXX, CA, who was representing XXXX, filed a lawsuit against me for a debt for a credit card I had originally with XXXX. Since I was unaware of XXXX right to collect on this account, I requested validation of the debt. However, I received no response even after filing my answer to the court and even through the " discovery '' phase. Now, three years later on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Legal Recovery Law Offices is now representing the buyer of this debt, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and has filed a " Memorandum for Trial Setting '' on this debt, which is now time barred according to last-payment information on my credit report. According to my credit report, the last payment I made on my XXXX account was XXXX XXXX, five and a half years ago. My understanding is that according to California law, debt collectors can not sue for a debt that exceeds the statute of limitations or is " time barred. '' I am writing a letter to the XXXX XXXX XXXX Court asking the judge to dismiss the complaint due to the failure of the plaintiff to validate the claim and the fact that the statute of limitations has passed.
