It can depend on the monetary amount of the check involved.
However, rather than wait for the SOL to expire, why not simply appear in court with the proof that you paid it and get the whole slate cleaned entirely?
If you don't, even if the SOL for prosecution expires, the bad check will always appear on your criminal history check which will quite possibly
cause you grief down the road.
Yes, all states have statutes of limitations for charging various offenses. Check your own state statutes for the limitations (if any) in your state.
These statutes are different from state-to-state.
How do you KNOW that the statute of limitations has passed? - AND - Are you CERTAIN? My adivce would be: Call the law enforcement agency in the county where you think the warrant was issued and ask.
Written agreements in Kentucky are long. They have 15 years to bring a case. And if it is a felony, there is no statute of limitations.
Statute of limitations vary from state to state. Bills and debts do have statutes of limitations pretty much everywhere. They can range from a couple of years to seven or more years. Check your specific state laws.
said to be 3 to 5 years. that's all I've found.
If you know that the warrant is still active, there is a better than even chance that the offense is still open, and that you are still wanted. I don't know where you get your information on the statute of limitations being expired but I would check again.
A 13-year old is a minor. A check is a legal document. Minors are not allowed to sign legal documents. Therefore a check shouldn't be accepted in the first place from a 13-year old. If one did accept such a check he does so at his own risk, because it's inconceivable to believe that the State would issue a warrant in this type of situation. ADDED: I do not believe the questioner was asking about a 13 year old INDIVIDUAL, but was asking about a 13 year old BAD CHECK. If that is the case; It depends on the statute of limitations for that offense in the state in which the check was 'uttered.' It also depends on if the warrant was issued durng the Statute of Limitatins, because once a warrant was issued it means the charges were filed. If this is the case then there is no statute of limitations. However, as stated above, if 13 years has passed and no charges were filed then the Statute of Limitations has probably expired.
You need to check with you local statutes under contracts for the statute of limitations most only go for two years
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.
Normally records can only be sealed if the crime was committed when you were a minor . You need to check state laws but most states carry a limitations statutes
It will depend on the level of crime that is charged for the check. In Alabama a misdemeanor is set at 12 months. For a felony it is set at 3 years. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.
