How are the statute of limitations determined for credit card default?
Q. I currently live in Kansas. The statute of limitations for unpaid credit card debt 'open accounts' is 3 years. I lived in Texas and Arizona when the credit cards were opened. How do I determine the statute of limitations for this debt? Is it based on current residency or past residency?
Asked by ProfB - Sat Dec 22 18:26:08 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Fair Credit Reporting Act says that derogatory accounts will show for 7-years from the date of first delinquency. Statute of limitations varies from State to State and by what type of debt you are talking about. This is the legal time that people can sue in court and get a judgment. Once the S.O.L. has passed you can still be sued but all you have to do is show the court that the S.O.L. has expired and the case will be dismissed. I have posted a link so you can look up your State: There is no time limit on how long people can attempt to get you to pay. Never admit that a debt is yours and never pay a dime on one that is past the S.O.L. because this will restart the S.O.L.

What is the statute of limitations on lewdness with a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor?
Q. What is the statute of limitations on these crimes in ny and nj and can anything be done if the statute has run. Can the person be still registered as a sex offender? I've been reading about sex offenders and the registry seems to contain people who have commited crimes recently.

New Jersey Code Section 2C:1-6; Felonies Murder, manslaughter: none; official misconduct, bribery and related offenses: 7 yrs.; others: 5 yrs.; if victim under 18, prosecution must begin within 5 yrs. after victim attains 18 for sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and endangering welfare of children New York Murder, Class A felony: none others: 5 yrs.; violation of collection, treatment, disposal of refuse and solid waste: 4 yrs.; breach of fiduciary duty: within 1 yr. of discovery of offense; official misconduct: 5 yrs. of offense

What is the statute of limitations on a broken wrist in Connecticut?
Q. I am not planning on sueing, but i am curious. I broke my wrist back in september and i am just wondering what the statute of limitations on a broken wrist is. I would sue the person's yard i was on when i broke it because it was somewhat their fault.
Asked by Bp1066 - Thu Jul 10 18:29:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is no "statute of limitations" on a broken wrist. There is a statute of limitations (which varies from state to state, in the range of a few years) in tort law (i.e., if somebody did something or was negligent, and you were hurt by it, and suffered financial loss). Unless you are permanently disabled, disfigured, or lost a significant amount of wages, or have major hospital bills (out of pocket & not covered by insurance), then don't even think about it. It will take years and a lot of legwork and clog up the court system. Also, if you have medical insurance, your insurance provoder will ask for money from your settlement to cover their costs too (its called subrogation).

A. You can file a police report at any time. However, a police report at this very late stage will probably do nothing. Also, as the owner of an uninsured vehicle, you may have a lot of trouble recouping anything, even in court. Who was at fault in the accident? Your explanation isn't clear. You say they are holding you responsible, does that mean they are placing you at fault? In that case, they won't fix your car, in fact, you have to pay them for the damages to their insureds vehicle. Who will you be suing? Your friend? If you are not at fault, then what is the reason they gave you for not fixing your car? If the other driver is at fault, they are required to pay you, whether or not you were uninsured.

How does statute of limitations work exactly?
Q. I'm referring to criminal. I know how lawsuits are... like you have x years to file your suit... But what about for a criminal act? Take this example scenario, a person commits a crime (not murder or something with no statute...) a warrant is put out for their arrest. Now, how does this work? If they aren't caught in x years then the charge disappears? Or is it that the police have x years to charge them but if they are actually charged it never expires? See my question?

A. It's not criminally prosecutable so the statute of limitations doesn't apply. In civil court, you can sue anyone for anything with no time limit. There is, however, usually a release form you sign before major dental work done that releases the dentist from things like nerve damage. Bottom Line: get an attorney.

I also know that it's practically impossible in this state to get prosecuted for anything. I'm not exactly sure why /how anyone is in jail. You have to essentially kill someone before the police get off their butts to investigate. And even then, all you have do to is say that you didn't do it, and they'll go away.

Q. A family member forged narcotic prescriptions in the state of TX and I asked if she knew how long the state had to press charges and she doesn't know. It's been about 6 months since the last prescription was written/redeemed. Does anyone know how long the state has to press charges before the statute of limitations runs out? Thanks!

A. While I don't know what the statute of limitation in Texas is for this specific crime, most statutes of limitation inTexas run seven years. I also know that it's practically impossible in this state to get prosecuted for anything. I'm not exactly sure why /how anyone is in jail.

What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio?
Q. I have a medical bill from 10 years ago, that I was just told about. It's not like it's a million dollars or anything, but I would think that if I owed this money, someone should have contacted me before ten years had passed!! The hospital is telling me I owe the money, and I don't know how to check it. Can I avoid paying it legally? If someone can refer me to the proper statute in the Ohio Revised Code or whatever, I would appreciate it!

A. Check out Sec. 3727.12 3727.42. Generally medical debts fall under the UCC for a 4 year collecting SOL. But, if the hospital receives any funding from federal, state, county or municipal sources, a SOL defense may not help if it is your only defense. If they are going to sue, they are going to sue no matter what unless you pay. You could try notifying them claiming SOL and hope they buy it and don't sue. <

What is the statute of limitations for possession of marijuana in Minnesota?
Q. A friend of mine was given two tickets back in June of 2007 for possession of paraphenalia, and the other for possession of marijuana. What is the statute of limitations for this?

A. The tickets stand until dealt with. Those are existing charges. The link is for MN law. A statute of limitations is not the time you have until charges go away - otherwise we would all just sit and wait.
