What is the name of your state?Alabama
I lived in Alabama about 10 years ago ( I now live in another state ) and because of hard times, I wrote some checks that I could not cover. Over the years, I had forgotten about them and never gave them another thought since I hadn't heard anything about them. Well.... after 10 years, I get a letter from the district attorney saying that I need to make good on them and that a warrant had been recently issued for my arrest. Then just today, my husband gets a telephone call stating that "due to new technology" they were able to track me down and want me to make good on the checks to keep an arrest warrant from being issued. My question is......
1). These checks were written 10 years ago..... can they now issue an arrest warrant for me?
2). Is there no statue of limitations on this matter. The checks totaled barely over $500 and now that they added all of their charges to them, the total is well over $1000.
I would appreciate it if I could get some information on the statue of limitations on this in the state of Alabama. thanks
