    Okay i did some research and found that oregons sol is 7 years. Which i am going to assume i fall under that one instead of the california SOL since I am not legally a resident here. The collection firm from Discover Card is from Maryland. They sent me a letter bascially claiming I owe discover card the amount of money with my miranda rights.
    Shouldn't it be a Collection Agency from Oregon? I read on the Oregon SOL that they have to have a license to pratice in Oregon, which i am a resident of?

    I am really lost here, anyone out there who can clairfy this for me?

    COLLECTION AGENCY BOND & LICENSE

    Bond: No License: Registration only Fee: Established by director

    Exemption for out-of-state collectors:

    Contact state authorities. Out-of-state agencies may be exempt IF

    [1] collecting for out-of-state client;

    [2] the debt was incurred by an Oregonian outside the state; and

    [3] the state where the collection agency is headquartered has a registration program comparable to Oregon's law.
