It depends on the amount. Checks for less than $300 are misdemeanors, and the statute of limitations runs after one year unless you leave the state, are a fugitive, or conceal evidence. Checks for more than that are felonies, and there is no statute of limitations for any felony in Kentucky (one of the toughest in the nation).

PA Statute of Limitations is 2 years for a bad check from the date of the certified mailing. the police charged me for a check from 1983
dont no u suspose to no What kind of answer is this
The statute of limitations has to do with how long you can be prosecuted; it has nothing at all to do with how long a business can remember that you wrote a bad check and refuse to give you the opportunity to do it again.
There are NO statutes of limitation on ANY criminal offense in South Carolina. See: http://law.findlaw.com/state-laws/criminal-statute-of-limitations/south-carolina/

Yes, bad checks can be subjected to a statute of limitations. It will depend on the jurisdiction. It can also depend on the amount of the check. Both criminal charges and the debt associated with it can be subject to different limits.
It will depend on whether it is a civil or criminal action. For a civil suit it would be six years.
The statute of limitations for debts reported on your credit report is 7 1/2 years.
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.
I doubt there is such a thing. Don't pay and your credit is trashed. They may eventually write you off as a "bad debt" but your credit will still be garbage.
The statute of limitations for how long a consumer may be sued over a bad debt is established by (their) state law and type of account. You can do an internet search: statute+limitations+(your state)for more information.
