Being sued for unpaid debts in California
by: debtcollectionanswers.com

Something called the statute of limitations determines how long a consumer can be sued for an unpaid debt. If your husband is sued for debts for which the statute of limitations has expired, he can use that fact as a defense in court. The statute of limitations on the debts your husband owes is set by your state and varies based on the nature of the debt. My resources indicate that the statute of limitations on credit card debt is 4 years and the 4 years would begin on the date that your husband missed his first card payment.

If your husband is sued for any debts for which the statute of limitations may have expired (or is being threatened with lawsuits) I recommend that you contact a consumer law attorney right away. In addition, your husband may be a good candidate for bankruptcy. However, a bankruptcy attorney would have to make that determination after looking at his finances. I recommend that you go here right away to learn about free and low cost resources that can help you in regard to the debts your husband is worried about being sued for and the issue of bankruptcy, consumer law attorney.
