The credit card companies have six years to collect a debt. The time starts when the credit cards make their last entry on your credit report. It is not your last payment as credit cards will continue to show late charges and interest penalties.
Many credit card companies have in their terms that they have the right to take 3 to 4 weeks to credit your account with a refunded amount. So the merchant may have processed the refund but your credit card company will take 3 - 4 weeks to accept it. This is so they can hit you with balance charges.
