Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Explanation on Statue of Limitations for Debt owed

I had a case settled out of court and my lawyer never paid the medical bills. I contacted the State Bar Assoc. and was granted payment for creditor on my credit reports in 1997. Now, I'm receiving notice of a new creditor for which I owe money to. What is the statue of limitation as to time if I did not hear from them until now? The State Bar will not accept any further applications because at the time I had to notify them of all the liens against me. Thank you for your help.
