How long is the statute to report motor vehicle accidents in Idaho?
Q. A friend wrecked my car almost 6 months ago. At the time, my vehicle was uninsured. The driver of my vehicle was uninsured and driving on a suspended license. I was not at the accident, but became involved when I arranged with the other driver that we would handle this directly with his insurance company. Currently, the other motorist's insurance company has taken a claim that holds me responsible for being the owner of the other vehicle involved in the accident and a settlement amount has been arranged. There was no police report filed. My vehicle has still not been fixed. I want to file a police report regarding this accident. In addition, I want to file a civil lawsuit to recoup damages. What effects might this have if I filed… [cont.]

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?

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 a fender bender?
Q. I live in California (sacramento specifically) and I caused a dent approximately 1ftx1ft in the side of my friend's car while backing up. This was in June sometime, so that would be around 8 months ago. My question is concerning the statute of limitations on such a dent. If it is one year, does that mean I do not have to pay for it in 5 months?

A. I believe that the statute of limitations for property damage is now three years in California. That means that during the three years subsequent to your accident, you are responsible to repair this vehicle to it's pre-loss condition. If you fail to repair it during this time frame, your friend must file suit prior to this statute's expiration to preserve his rights to recoup his losses. What kind of "friend" are you anyways, trying to get out of fixing his car?

A. It sounds like you notified the credit company of the theft, but did you ever file a police report and send a copy of the report to the credit company? If you had a balance on that card that "you" made, before it was stolen, did you pay that when you closed the card? If it was from a charge that you had made before the card was stolen, then yes, you are responsible for it. If the charge was made after the card was stolen and you had notified the credit company of the theft, they should not be placing anything on another account of yours. You should contact them, but don't speak to the first putz that answers the phone, ask for the supervisor or better yet, ask for the fraud department. Find out what is going on. They should clear it up. [cont.]

In Texas, is there a statute of limitations for the Attorney General to file suit to collect unpaid sales tax?
Q. The State Comptroller didn't get the LLC's final 2 sales tax reports, so they made up a "determination penalty" and sent it up to the AG's office for collection or lawsuit. It was never filed and the sales taxes never paid. This was back in 2001. What's the statute of limitations?
Asked by Dennis Diken - Fri Jul 4 14:38:20 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Generally, statute of limitations to audit or collect taxes does not start running until a tax return is filed. If the return was never filed, then the statute of limitations is irrelevant and the AG has no limitation of time to try to collect taxes. Best bet if you don't want to pay tax is to file a return with -0-'s, then if a certain amount of years goes by, the state cannot do anything. Every state varies with SoL, usually 3 to 5 years.

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. 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.

However, the prosecution is commenced when the citing officer files the citation with the court, and it is extremely rare for that to be delayed for a year. Pen C sec 19.7, 802.

A. Was the repo the result of a court judgement? This type of loan is a "written" contract and most states have a longer statute of limitations. If it went to court, you can toss the SOL out because they can continue to collect for a very long time. Here in Michigan they have 10 years, but they can file a motion to renew and extend it for another 10 years...over and over. Other states only allow 3 renewals.

Asked by poetgirl - Mon Nov 5 23:57:18 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In most cases the creditor is allowed to use the Statute of Limitations of either state. This usually means they will select the one with the longer SOL. The SOL starts from the date of delinquency, NOT from when the account was opened. For example if you made a payment on 1/2007, but missed the 2/2007 payment the SOL starts on 2/2007. In some cases you can restart this time if you make a payment or even a written promise to pay after the inital delinquency date. You don't say what the type of debt is. But in MO the SOL is 5 or 10 years. For Oral or Open(Credit) Accounts the SOL is 5 years, for Written or Promisory Notes the SOL is 10 years. You can then compare this with the other state in question to determine which one they… [cont.]

A. If it is very clear that the offense can be well-defined and not subject to discovery of elements that would make it a different offense, there would be no reason to investigate with the goal of making a prosecution case for that offense. It is entirely possible that reports of some kinds of offenses might lead to information relating to similar offenses against other victims. For instance, someone reporting a sexual assault long past the limitations period but consistent with later offenses that might be part of a pattern of serial crimes would not be ignored. There would be no routine reason to inform the accused, although anything that becomes part of an investigation of something that is prosecuted could be discoverable by the… [cont.]
