Check Michigan statutes of limitations. If he hasn't paid a dime, the two- or four-year CA statutes of limitations bar monetary recovery, unless you secured the loan in some other way.

It's too late for you to sue in CA, so check the statute of limitations in MI to see if there's is longer.

Unless you had a written 'promissory note' with a payment due date less than four years ago, it's too late for you to sue in CA, so check the statute of limitations in MI to see if their's is longer.
