Re: personal loan
The biggest problem you have is that a lawsuit of this nature has a statute of limitations of 6 years from the last time he paid on the debt. You mention that the last time the debt was paid was 8 years ago.
A statute of limitations means that you cannot enforce the promisory note after that time period.
There may be a way to get around. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me.
