Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

What is the statute of limitation on pursuing fraud?

Recently, I pulled my credit. I discovered that there is a collections account reporting. After futher research, I discovered that this account is from 08/05 - 12/05. The address and phone number for this account provided by the collections agency and creditor is an address and phone number for a previous girlfriend.

Is it too late to pursue anything?

I also discovered that she pulled my credit report online 04/05 without my permission. Is this legal? Can I do anything.

She also fraudulently signed my name on the back of a check to cash it 01/01. Is it too late to pursue that as well?

If I can pursue any of this? What penalties could she face?

Thank you kindly for your time and assistance.

Re: What is the statute of limitation on pursuing fraud?

In Colorado, these statutes do not start to run until the victim is aware of the loss or fraud. You should be able to pursue it. These could be felonies with prison consequences. But, most likely, she would face probation and possibly a misdemeanor. This depends on her prior record.
