The amount of time to collect on a bad check depends on the state laws in which the check was written. Generally, the statute of limitations is from one to three years. If the process is started before that time, there is no time limit.

Can someone try to collect on a bad check in Virginia out of the blue in 2011 for something that happened in 2005?

In Virginia, the statute of limitations for collecting on a bad check is generally five years from the date the check was issued. Since the incident occurred in 2005, the creditor would have had until 2010 to pursue legal action for collection. Therefore, attempting to collect on the check in 2011 would likely be barred by the statute of limitations, making it unenforceable.
