saving old ladys defense
The SOL might be a valid defense for the debtor. He or she must appear in the civil court on the date indicated on the summons with documentation supporting the SOL defense. Always remember, that the expiration of the state's SOL related to the debt is not 'automatic'. A defendant must produce evidence to the court that the SOL is applicable in the case. The judge will then make a decision as to the validity of the defense argument and rule accordingly.
There is no SOL for collection procedures, however state SOL's do apply to the time in which a lawsuit can be filed for debt recovery. If sued and the SOL applies it is the responsibility of the debtor/defendant to bring the issue to the attention of the court, a SOL defense is not "automatic".
Collectors may sue you if they are contending that the Statue of Limitations has not passed, although it is technically against the law for them to do so. If you are able to prove that the Statue of Limitations has expired, the case will most likely be dismissed.
Whenever the collector/creditor makes the decision to file a lawsuit to recover the monies owed. All states have SOL's that set the time limit for the filing of a valid suit against a debtor. Please be advised, that even if the SOL for your state has expired, it is possible for it to be tolled by the court at the judge's discretion based on case circumstance. Also, it is the debtor's responsibility to introduce the expiration of an SOL as defense, such a stipulated defense is not "automatic"
Medical bills are generally considered open accounts, the SOL for open accounts in Illinois is 5 years. Now the bad news, the majority of courts will not accept the SOL defense for medical bills, and if it is a county, city or state facility the SOL does not apply.
Depending on your states SOL for doing so, you can file a motion to vacate the judgement. But you should have an absolute reason such as, you weren't properly served, or the debt was beyond the SOL for legal recourse, or you have an absolute defense against the complaint.
