Minnesota debt relief lawsThey follow the FDCPA but what's local to them is the ff:Maximum Interest Rate a Collection Agency Can Charge in Minnesota: 6% Minnesota Wage Protection: 75% of disposable weekly earnings (after tax income) or 40 times federal hourly minimum wage, whichever is greater

Oh good, thank you! How about the statute of limitations? And how about if for example, I was living in California for a time, took out a loan there, but now I'm back here in Minnesota..which statute is going to be followed? California or Minnesota?
