Florida Statue limitation - 95.051
Ok I had a car repo'd back in 1986... in 1987 they placed a Judg... so now they are trying to collect the origin amount - 4200. Which is now of 20k with interest... I just wanted to betted understand the (required poration on the law that states it JUDG has to be re-recored) - and also 1st line below 5year is a car loan not that of a written contract?
Contract or written instrument and for mortgage foreclosure: 5 years. F.S. 95.11.
Libel, slander, or unpaid wages: 2 years.
Judgments: 20 years total and to be a lien on any real property, it has to be re-recorded for a second time at 10 years.
The limitations period begins from the date the last element of the cause of action occurred, (95.051). NOTE: The limitation period is tolled (stopped) for any period during which the debtor is absent from the state and each time a voluntary payment is made on a debt arising from a written instrument.
Almost all other actions fall under the 4-year catch-all limitations period, (F.S. 95.11(3)(p)).
Florida Statue of Limitations
If a judgement was entered on 8/30/1988... would the collection limitations be now past. This was for a car loan in which the car was repod in 1987. Then the judgement entered on the above date. Of course I had to look it up, but the court shows the case open ?
