The statute of limitations for a written contract is five years from the date of the last payment. However, if your note was not signed properly, or did not state all of the necessary things, then it might be considered an unwritten contract, in which case the statute of limitations would be four years. There might be other issues that shorten that further. You should really consult with an attorney who practices in this area of the law. Our office is in South Florida and we offer a free initial consultation. I am one of only about 235 attorneys in Florida who are board certified in business litigation, which indicates that I am an expert in handling business litigation matters.
