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.
