What is the name of your state?South Carolina

I was informed that there is a warrant for arrest on a bad check that was written in 1992 - what is the statute of limitations for attempting to collect a bad debt - I thought it was 3 years in South Carolina and if so, does the warrant division still have legal rights to arrest for such?

This is not a bad debt, it is a crime.

The statute of limitations stopped running the day the charge was filed.

The warrant could be good forever.
