Re: statute of limitations
The statute of limitations generally means the time to file a suit, not collect a judgment. A judgment can be renewed for just about as long as the creditor wants, and, generally, a creditor can use other collection attempts indefinitely. Perhaps the creditor will consider a patment plan.
