    Default Re: Statute of Limitation

    Let's NOT say "let's say" anymore.

    And since a lot of creditors wait until the SOL is almost up to sue, how do courts deal with this?
    as long as the suit is filed before the SoL has run, it stops the running of the SoL.

    That is, could a debtor who lives in a state with an SOL of 4 years wait until 3.5 years is up since the SOL started running, and then move to a state with a 3 year SOL? Wouldn't that pretty much prevent the creditor from suing
    ?generally, no. In fact, in many states, it actually stops the SoL from running due to leaving the jurisdiction of the courts that have jurisdiction over the matter.
