I owned a convenience store and upon closing March the 10th of this year, I have a few debtors who I had given credit to and also a couple of stop payment checks I need to file on small claims, was just looking up statute of limitations for Alabama.

Looks like: "Open accounts: 3 years (A.C. 6-2-37)". See: Debt collection statute of limitations listed by state (http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/SOL-by-State.html#1)
