Is Sears not answerable to the statute of limitations?
A "statute of limitations" is the time limit a person or company has to prosecute a complaint before the complaint becomes null and void. For example, if the statute of limitations on assault is 1 year and I call the cops after 9 months, then I can prosecute. If I call the cops after 13 months, then I can't prosecute. So in other words, there is no such thing as "being answerable" to a ststute of limitations. A statute of limitations makes a person unanswerable. Perhaps you are thinking of the statute of limitations on a Sears credit card? If Sears brought the original complaint against the card holder before the statute expired, then the card holder is liable. For example, the statute for credit card debt is 7 years. If I charge something on a Sears card and don't pay it back, Sears can wait for 6 years and 363 days to file a complaint. The civil case or repossession or whatever can then be executed more than 7 years after I have made the credit card purchase. The statute of limitations applies to the filing of the complaint -- not the execution of the settlement.

The statute of limitations to sue for a judgment will vary by state and the type of claim.

What is the statute of limitation on capital gains tax?
Same as the statute of limitations on any other income tax. For example, if it is a U.S. federal income tax, and a return is required but not filed, then the statute of limitations doesn't start until the return is filed, and then runs for three years, assuming the taxpayer does not leave the US during that time.
If the loan on your car was charged off then the lender has written it off as a loss but not repoed it. do you still owe the loan?
Yes. The statute of limitations governs how long you remain liable, in the sense that once the statute has expired, a suit by the creditor will be dismissed if the debtor raises the statute of limitations as a defense. In general, the statute of limitations begins to run when you default on the note or vehicle installment sales contract, not when the car is repossessed. Repossession is one remedy available to a creditor who has a security interest, but it is not the only one. Very few notes limit a creditor to a single remedy. In general, the creditor can also bring a suit against you for the balance owed regardless of whether or not the collateral is repossessed. In most states, the statute of limitations will begin to run when you missed enough payments to meet the definition of "default" specified in the contract or note. Relying on the statute of limitations to avoid a debt has its risks. The statute may be "tolled" by a variety of acts. Leaving the state where the debt was contracted, for example, often stops the clock until you return. In many states, making a partial payment sets the clock back to 0, so the limitations period begins to run from the date of the last payment. In some states, merely making a promise to make a payment, even orally, is enough to re-start the limitations period. Technically, when the statute of limitations expires, it does not wipe out the debt, it only prevents the creditor from bringing suit to enforce his/her rights. In theory, he/she or an assignee of the original creditor can continue to dun you forever, even if they can't take you to court.
What is the difference between an affirmative defense and a denial?
A denial does just that it denies the Plaintiff's allegations and the burden of proof is still on the Plaintiff to prove the prima facie case.An affirmative defense does not deny the allegations but asserts a defense that would negate the legal effect of the Plaintiff's cause of action. The burden of proof in an affirmative defense is on the Defendant.An example would be a breach of contract case. The Plaintiff claims that he had a contract with the Defendant, and Defendant did not perform the contract. A denial would say "We never had a contract" and the Plaintiff would have to prove the existence of a contract. An affirmative defense would say "Yes, we had a contract, but that was 20 years ago thus the action is barred by the 10 year statute of limitations." Then the burden of proof is on the Defendant to show that the contract falls outside of the statute of limitations period.

When does the statute of limitations begin to run against a guarantor of a debt?
No. There is no statute of limitations "for a guarantor". However, there are statutes of limitations for different categories of debts. Statutes of limitation vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and for different types of contracts. For example a five year lease, a thirty year mortgage, a six year car loan. However, in the case of a default by the primary borrower, a creditor will generally seek payment from the guarantor prior to the tolling of the statute of limitations.
