I do not know when in 2000 the account was charged off, however,if you check your credit reports you should find out.

The starting date of the 4 year Pa. SOL is the first delinquency (late payment) that preceded the chargeoff.This would make te chargeoff date about 6 months AFTER the SOL start date in mos cases.

I suggest 2 things, first you MUST refuse arbitration, in writing, CRRR, if you do not, you will have a hard time later on.

Next, check your credit reports - look for the account with the original creditor, find the earliest 30 day late before chargeoff.For instance if it shows as charged off 02/2000, it should show 150 days late 01/2000 120 days late 12/1999- 90 days 11/1999 60 days 10/1999 30 days 9/1999. In this example your start of SOL is 09/1999 and any suit filed after 09/2003 would be time-barred.

If you are beyond SOL, then besides the refusal of arbitration letter, you need to ALSO send the SOL letter.
