Re: statue of limitations on debts in ga

If you have a judgment against you already, the statute of limitations does not apply. If you had a problem with notice on your last court date, you should have raised it then. You can have a lawyer look over the paperwork and judgment to see if it is appropriate, but using that money to pay the debt and end it for good is also a good idea.
