If you have a written contract, it is four years from the date payment was due and not paid.

If the contract was for work done in CA, then just file the case and let the company object if the statute of limitation is an issue. What do you have to lose?

To answer Mr. Nelson's question, you could lose the case.
I agree with Mr. McCormick. The statute of limitations in California for a breach of a written contract is four (4) years. The statute of limitations begins to run when the contract is breached.
