Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Statute of Limitations Eviction Judgment
A friend of mine received a letter dated 6-19-08 from an eviction recovery group regarding an eviction that occurred on 12-1-98.
According to my friend, the letter is the first and only letter received by my friend from this group (after ten years) stating that their group ''is in the process of renewing the Judgment'' mentioning the current due amount of $600.00 and accrued interest.
My three questions are 1) What is my friend's legal rights if this is the first and only letter regarding this issue received in ten years? 2) Does the eviction recovery group have to
prove they sent any/all other letters to my friend for collection? and 3) , why would they be ''renewing'' the Judgment?
Please explain the Statute of Limitations on Eviction Judgments and any leads and suggestions are most appreciated.
Thank you

Re: Statute of Limitations Eviction Judgment
Money judgments can be renewed within ten years after they were issued. Whether it's likely the collection agency will do anything about it is questionable. If your friend responds, then the collection agency can update the information and perhaps pursue it a little more actively.
