I was contacted by a debt collector stating that I wrote a check on a closed account in 2004 and they intend to file criminal charges with my local DA if I do not pay immediately. I researched the statute of limitations on this and it states that 4 years in the state of Washington is the limit for filing a claim of fraud? Is this correct? I intend on paying this, as I was unaware of its existence but I need more time. Please advise.

Thank you.

What happens if you sign a contract in Kansas that has a five year statute of limitation and the fine print says that you waive the statute of limitation as a defense?

You must check the laws of Kansas. Many states will refuse to honor the eaiver of statutes of limitation as being against public policy. Statutes of limitation are designed to make people file lawsuits in a timely manner and nor "sleep on their rights". A waiver of the statute of limitations has a potential of allowing a lawsuit on this contract to have an indefinite life. This would probably not be allowed even if you agreed to it, especially if it is in the fine print.
