What is the statute of limitations for debt collection in California?
California has a statute of limitations of four years for most types of debt (20 years for state tax debt). The only exception are debts taken on via an oral contract, which are subject to a statute of limitations of two years. Be careful about paying or promising to pay debts that exceed the statute of limitations.

Can you sue for emotional distress in California?
