In the state of Ohio, the limitation ranges from 6 years for oral agreements to 15 years for written (including Promissory Note). Note that "open accounts" which are credit card debts, have had some changes as a result of the recent Bankruptcy Reform Act\n\nThe following link will give you more information about the Statute of Limitations by State

it should be cleared, as well as all attempts to collect it after 7 years of default. you will have to do the leg work as creditors won't do it on their own, so push them and keep pushing them to remove it.

In the state of Ohio, Fourth Degree felonies can be sentenced to:  six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen months and fined $5,000. \n\nI think that this all depends on what state you are referring to.

Under no circumstances should you fail to show up in court to answer the complaint.\n\nIf this is an old debt you should go to court and demand proof that you are the person who contracted the debt.  They must have the original paperwork showing you opened the account, with your signature, and that you are responsible for the debt.\n\nIf they are able to prove it's your account you should insist that the statue of limitations for collecting the dept has expired.  Google "debt statute of limitations (name of your state)"  Normally after a couple years, with no payments from you, the debt can no longer be collected.\n\nMany times bottom-feeders buy up old debt for pennies on the dollar.  Many times they don't have any of the original account documentation and many times the statute of limitations has expired.  They sue all the debtors knowing that most will not show up in court to contest it. They get judgments by default which can then be enforced whether the original debt was collectible or not.

The Statute of Limitations for a personal injury case is 2 years from the date of the accident.  If you do not either file a lawsuit or settle the case, any claims you may have had will be forever barred.  Do you live in Florida?  If so, you can contact Mr. Bruce Kaster, (352) 622-1600.  He is an excellent attorney.  I work for a law office in Texas and he is handling a case for us in Florida.

You will have to be much more specific for an answer to your question. Do you mean how long can someone try to collect money from you for bills you owe? Each state has collection laws, but they are different for different kinds of debts. And it is statute, not statue.

That's 'statute' of limitations, and it depends on which state you file that will in.

Under the Federal Debt Collection Law, if you send the debt collector a letter insisting that he stop contacting you, he must stop.  The law permits just one more letter informing you what additional steps may be taken. As for recovering the money, a lawsuit generally must be filed within four years of the time you default. \n\nNegative information on your credit report becomes obsolete after seven years and generally may not be reported.

In OH, it is still a misdemeanor, but it is a first degree misdemeanor...meaning you can go to jail for up to one year. Guess what? So can the friend who is lending you her DL. It is not worth the risk. In FL, the penalties are worse...\n\nIf you want to see the statute, go to the link below. Go to the Ohio Revised Code section and place in the following code: 4507.30. Hope that helps.

FIRST YOU NEED TO FIND OUT IS THIS IS A JUDGMENT OR NOT.\n\nIF IT IS NOT, THEN THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS PROBABLY RUN ON IT.  THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU DON'T STILL OWE THE MONEY, IT JUST MEANS THAT THEY CAN'T SUE YOU NOW.  THEY CAN STILL ACTIVELY COLLECT THE DEBT.\n\nIF IT IS A JUDGMENT, THEN YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH SCREWED.  DEPENDING ON STATE AN LOCAL LAWS A JUDGMENT CAN STAY ACTIVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND ALSO REFLECT ON YOUR CREDIT FOR THAT AMOUNT OF TIME AS WELL.\n\nREQUEST VALIDATION OF THE DEBT AD GO FROM THERE.\n\nGOOD LUCK

Our company collects on civil judgments nationwide.\n\nThe statute of limitations for Florida for domestic (in-state) judgments is 7 years.  In other words, you have the right for 7 years to collect on the judgment.  At the 7 year point, you can renew the judgment by filing some simple paperwork at the courthouse where you obtained a judgment.  Within those 7 years (and the years after, if you renew), your debtor is obligated to satisfy the judgment.  The debtor is also obligated to satisfy the interest and court costs.  If left unpaid for many years, your judgment will be worth much more than $2,000, and your debtor will still be obligated for the full amount.\n\nFlorida is a notoriously debtor-friendly state, and you will need to aggressively pursue your collection.  The first step for you in the collection process is to thoroughly investigate what your debtor owns that is seizable under Florida state law.  Some of this information is not easily obtainable, especially bank account information, and you will need to be willing to use a reputable asset search firm or investigator to find the information.\n\nYou can also hand your judgment over to a judgment recovery firm, although we routinely counsel against this for smaller judgments.  The standard profit sharing rate is 50/50, and the cost/benefit ratio is really not worth it for the creditor.  Frankly, with a little "elbow grease" and good information, most small claims creditors can pursue the judgment themselves.  \n\nAs a side note, it is questionable whether you will be able to garnish wages in Florida, especially if your debtor is the head of household.\n\nPlease contact me, and I can give you more information.  We also have a website with useful information to the judgment creditor, especially our FAQ - http://www.jcsusa.com/About%20Us%20and%20FAQ.htm.\n\nThanks and best wishes.

YES THERE IS!! I'm so glad you asked! It's 6 years baby! I had to cut Sears off for trying to collect after 10 years! BIG NO NO! 6 years, that's it! Check out suzeorman.com. Other debtors can still try to collect after 7 years, but after 7 years it is to drop from your report. Watch out for judgements. They can stay on for 15 years and get RENEWED! Consumers have no justice I swear. Hope this helps!\n\nTo the third answer, NO THEY CANNOT CONTINUE TO COLLECT. It is a statute, so it's law. After 6 years, they would be going against Ohio State Statute, against the law. They cannot collect after 6 years, and it must be removed from your credit report after 7 years. Thrid answer needs to do some more research. www.suzeorman.com
