Hello, about nine years ago, I immigrated to Europe from the State of Georgia. At time I moved, all of my debts in America were current and in good standing. It was only after I immigrated that I started having problems. My question is in regards to Statute of Limitations Tollings. I am aware that if a person leaves the country, that a toll is placed on the Statute of Limitations. But what if the person has resided outside of the United States for a significant period of time before the "clock" actually starts ticking on the Statute of Limitations? Does that make any difference at all or will it just be Tolled from the beginning? Also is the Tolling always going to exist as long as I reside outside of the United States or does it too have a limit as to how long it can stay in place?
I don't ever plan to live in the United States again and I have been granted citizenship in the European Country that I have been residing in but I also hate to think that if I ever did decide to move back to the States one day...20 or 30 years from now, that I will have a lawsuit waiting on me... I appreciate any advise or insight.
