Quoting
Mr. Knowitall
You apparently intend the arguments that the promises from 2007 - 2009 constitute ratification of the debt, and that the IOU in 2009 constitutes a novation? It's one or the other, although you can present competing alternative theories as to why you should be able to recover. Old case law, but on point:
Acknowledgment doesn't create a new obligation - it merely extends the time for bringing an action. If the new promise doesn't occur until after the original limitations period expires, the general rule is that the original contract is practically extinguished such that the suit can only be prosecuted based upon the new express promise, or upon the new promise which the law implies from an acknowledgment made in writing.
