Anonymous Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I looked up the statute of limitationin Ohio for a debt I had with ITT financil back in 1990, and the statue is 15 years, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calawyer Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I didn't believe it so I looked it up myself and found the following:Except as provided in sections 126.301 [126.30.1] and 1302.98 of the Revised Code, an action upon a specialty or an agreement, contract, or promise in writing shall be brought within fifteen years after the cause thereof accrued.This seems REALLY long to me. Can any Ohio experts out there enlighten us on the interply between this statute and 1302.98 which is a 4 year SOL for written contracts for sales?

Anonymous Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I know.I thought maybe I was reading it wrong. Ohio is a backward State. Thanks for replying though, even if the news wasn't good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadynRed Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 The 4 year 'sale of goods' is for just that - basically I believe it covers dept store cards. The SOL for credit cards is ALSO 4 years in OH, not the 15 that a CA lawyer will try to tell you.Unfortunately, the written contract SOL is correct at the loooonnnnggg 15 years - 5 years longer than most states.
