    Section 6 does not apply to credit cards.

    Its a "simple contract debt" and as such is governed by sec 5.

    Section 6 refers to "specialty debts" such as deeds on a house purchase, for example.

    This is correct. A credit card has a very straightforward contract and the cause of action is easy to define. Section 5 applies.

    If a court claim arrives now, that's the defence. But it may hinge on actual dates so I would still hold fire for a couple of months to be safe.
