No, NOT AT ALL. In certain states 7 years is the limit that the other party can take legal actions. If the other party did not sue you within 7 years that they can't sue you for the money anymore. That does not mean if you owe money more than 7 years you don't have to pay unless that other party did not take any legal actions within 7 years and it is highly unlikely the credit card company did not take any legal actions for the sum of 10,000$.
