Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

SOL-Can they get a jugement?

I just found out that I have a chargeoff account from 97 in the amount of 6K reported on CRA/ (CA's letter said is 8K, The name on the letter doesnt match my name( example John Dove vs Jack Dove), but is under my SS#, Lic etc. To make the story short, after several nasty calls I found out who they are. I did write letter to CRA & Ca, but no aswr so far, I am getting so tire of dealing with them, and I am leaving the country soon, but I do have a property with my wife( bought under her credit only) and dont want them to take that while I am not around to fight.

My question is

1) They would have to serve (summon) me in order to sue me, right? Not as they claim if I do not respond they can file suit & get jugment against me.

2)From the CRA report, this debt is back in 96-97, isnt that past the SOL for State of CA? How can they suit knowing is past SOL?

3) How can they sue when the names on the debt dont match with mine?
