What is the statute of limitations on unpaid traffic tickets in the state of Alabama?

The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

Is there a statute of limitations on debt collections?

Yes. [ADDED-see below] The SOL depends on the state and type of agreement. Also note that credit card debt is called an open end account. The SOL for debts that have expired (no longer required to pay) is not the same SOL used by credit bureaus. Take a look at the following site http:/www.credit-repair-specialist.com/debt-collection-statute-of-limitation.html and http://www.blogblackstocks.com/2007/02/how_long_does_n.html Just because the SOL has expired on a debt does not mean you do not owe the debt. Very few states extinguish the debt on expiration of SOL. When the SOL expires it just means that they can not sue you and win if you show up in court and use expired SOL as a defense. They can continue to attempt to collect on a debt forever. Items fall off your credit report 7 - 7.5 years from the DOFD, which is set by the OC and is federally mandated. This date can not change. SOL is state mandated and varies from state to state.

What is the statute for malicious prosecution in NC?

The penalty is whatever monetary sum the courts award the plaintiff as this falls under civil code not criminal.

In other words, if someone charges you with a crime and you are found not guilty, then you can file a civil complaint. You can sue for cost, lawyer fees (for original case only), and punitive damages. If you win then the defendant will be ordered to pay you the awarded sum. No chance they will go to jail as this is a civil matter.

What is the statute of limitations for reporting bankruptcy to credit agencies?

Credit Agencies generate their own data, using others records. They may provide their findings, using whatever parameters the requester wants.

Some credit reports are only requested with a look back of a few years, or for certain types of things - like only revolving credit accounts, or judgements. However, most standard credit reports use parameters that include most all items of record, (sometimes even criminal things), and a bankruptcy is normally included for 10 years and other things for 7 years.

Is there a statute of limitations in MI for a landlord to sue a tenant for damages?

The statute of limitations for injury to personal property in Michigan is 3 years (Mich. Comp. Laws. Ann. S600.5805). This means that in civil clams related to personal property (conversion, trespass to chattels, adverse possession of chattels, etc), you have 3 years from when the claim arose. The claim arises usually when the item was converted, damaged, taken, etc. However, concealment of an item, so that you didn't know it was gone, for example, may toll the Statute of Limitation so that some courts may not consider the statutory period to start until you either discovered the item was missing, or should have discovered it was missing by due diligence.

What is the Post-revisionist view of the origins and nature of the cold war?

the revisionist view of the cold war was as follows: This view states that the U.S is to blame for the 'outbreak' of the cold war. The theory was that Russia had to suffer under great losses during the war and therefore it was obvious and expected that Stalin would make sure that Russia had good relations to the neighbouring states. Therefore his motives were thought to be purely defensive and that there was no threat´to the U.S. and capitalism. Some historians say that the Americans should not have challenged the idea of a Soviet 'sphere of influence' in eástern Europe. The actions of especially of Truman provoked the hostility of the Russians. (The Americans have become obsessed with hostility towards commuism.)
