illinois SOL: written vs. open

[cricket00]

What is the name of your state? illinois

being sued by a major credit card via a local attorney.
last date of transaction is in mid-1998.

problem: the SOL on written contracts is 10 years in illinois, regardless of TILA. credit cards are considered written, not open contracts. i am a few months shy of 10 years, so i'm hoping to assert that my credit card was an open/revolving agreement...and thus, carries a 5 year SOL.

any successes with this defense?
any resources to help support this?

thanks!

Okay, I misunderstood you. You are correct. It is a written agreement. I read the posting to mean you were attempting to argue it otherwise.
