liability

What is the name of your state? pennsylvania. my son got into a bunch of trouble back 1995. i was ordered to make a $300.00 payment for liability by the courts under 23 pa C.S.A. section 5505. apparently the couthouse has no record of me paying this and i can't find all our bank statements form that year. that was 9 years ago. am i still obligated to pay this and what is the SOL for this? thanks chillywilly

uuuh, Jet? Is PA no longer part of the US?

But Jet..... it doesn't show that the post was edited, and it says plainly on the first line:

Damn, I must be going blind!! I read and re-read that initial post and NEVER saw that!! My apologies.... Mea Culpa!!
BTW, I am deleting my obvious error.... but leaving this apology.

"am i still obligated to pay this and what is the SOL for this?"
23 PA §5505 has to do with 'Liability for Tortious Acts of Children' and can be found online at:

As such, yes, you are obligated to pay this as ordered by the court.

As for the SOL, it is five years on a money judgment... and can be renewed.

I was trying to figure out what I was missing! LOL We all make honest mistakes! I know I do... too often.

when you say can be renewed. doesn't that mean after 5 years i would have been notified of a renewal to collect?

Not necessarily.

how can i check on this without opening a can of worms so to speak. the last credit report i saw for me (last year) doesn't show this judgement. i contend that if this was a legitmate claim for this money it would have been done several years ago. i don't like the fact that this has happened before with our courthouse and i had to find the canceled check and send them a copy (different case). plus the fact that these people are threatening to have my driving priviledges revoked. talk about under handed. my driving was never the issue. although my wife sometimes claims it should be.
