What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NJ
In 1998 i moved to Utah for college, rented an apartament and got a few roomates.
Due to an emergency I had to move back to PA, leaving the apt wich was on my name behind, years later I found out that my roomates wrecked the place and never paid the last months rent, to make a long story short, the landlord filled a judgment against me in 2000.
It has been almost 5 years since the judgment was filled, and now I live in NJ, I read that the SOL in utah is 7 years, should I try to pay it off ???
Please advice

Do you really think that any responsible attorney is really going to suggest you not handle your debts in a mature and responsible manner??
Of course, pay it off.

However, you have a problem with your thinking....
A Utah judgment is valid for 8 years from the date of the judgment. And if that judgment creditor decides to domesticate that Utah judgment into the New York courts to pursue you, the SOL for a NY judgment is TWENTY years.
