I had an Amex credit card 20 years ago. I had around $20,000 outstanding balance on my credit card. I have never paid a penny to Amex. Fortunately, Amex has also not bothered to call me or sue me in the last 20 years. They have not sent me a 1099c form also.
Now, I am planning to apply for a new Amex card. Will that be too risky? Can they sue me now? Can they send me a 1099c form now?
