If your last charge (I don't know what type of account this is) or payment are more than 4 years (take a look at the time frames I posted) PRIOR to filing the lawsuit with the Court it is out of Statute.
For example, this was filed with the Court on April 1, 2008. Your last payment (or charge) on the account was March 30, 2004 - it is out of the 4 year Statute.
It was filed April 1, 2008; your last payment (or charge) was April 2, 2004 - it is within the 4 year Statute.
