Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

What constitutes acknowledgment of a debt owed to a law firm? If the client offers a compromise to settle the debt would that restart the statute of limitations in California? Or if the client says they are aware of the debt by email would that restart the statute of limitations?

The short answer to each of your questions is maybe - even probably. There are not enough facts to say for sure. An acknowledgment in an e-mail is pretty close to an acknowledgment if I ever saw one.

Good luck
