    Default Civil Suit Filed Against Me for Fraud - What is the Statute of Limitations

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: VA but I am a resdient of DC

    I recently got a call from someone saying they had civil documents to give me. Back in 2000 I was frustrated with my employer that laid me off and i took a check that was made out to them and put it in my bank account.

    I got caught served my time and but was required to pay back the partial amount that i orginally stole which i am currently.

    MY OLd company got paid an insurance claim against the rest of the money. The Insurance company now filed a suit in JUNE of 2008 addressed to me at my old address so i did not receive anything until now January 2009 at my current address.

    This is now a civil action since i went through the criminal action and finished any probation.

    What is the statute of limitations on this can they collect the money from me? I never actually received any paperwork on this action until now and its 6-7 years later( i say that because the theft was in 2000 but I think i got prosecuted in 2001).

    Since this is a civil suit what can i do? I never received these papers until now and it looks like they did something back in june 2008.

    Default Re: Civil Suit Filed Against Me for Fraud What is the Statute of Limitations

    The statute of limitations for fraud in Virginia is two years from the discovery of the fraud.

    The insurance company suit is to recover the damages you incurred, though, and has nothing to do with that SOL.

    You'd do well to look to consulting a local attorney about your situation. First consultation is usually free.
