My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CAlifornia
Had a signed note for 3K Oct of 2004. The person who owed on the note made small payments here and there over 4 years then in May 2008 made a payment of $200 and then didn't make any further attempts of paying. Do I have any recourse on the note even though it was signed in Oct 2004 the last payment was received in May 2008 and the balance still owing is $2300. Can the last payment in May 2008 be still considered less then 4 yrs since they were paying? Or later emails admitting owing funds be considered less then the 4 years as its now 5 years from the actual signing of the note. I would really like to file small claims but not sure what I can do since it's 5 years now and the person strung me along with small payments here and there.
Thank you,
