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.
The statute of limitations on check fraud in Washington can vary depending on the amount. The civil statute of limitations is six years.
Depending on the amount it is punishable by 250 dollars up to 2500 dollars, 2 years in prison.
If it was a felony charge: 3 years. If it was a misdemeanor charge: 2 years.
It will depend on how much the checks were for. Large amounts may be felonies and have a longer time period than smaller ones.
In Delaware this felony would be set at 5 years. If it is considered a breach of ficuciary duty, they add another 3 years for a total of 8.

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.

They cannot. Please double check on the State Statute of Limitation. In some states it is applicable from the date the debt is purchased. So, please check that. If you are sure, ask the collector to validate the debt.
