lolah Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi there.I am wondering WHAT can be done to change the SOL laws in Ohio. Does anyone know what course of action I would even begin to take? I know there are some others on this board from OH, so there are at least SOME people who would be interested.Where to even begin? Petition, Congressman, etc? How do you even change the consumer laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chele444 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I too live in Ohio. Let's see, if someone rapes your pet pig you get 2 days to sue. But don't pay Johnny Redneck and he can sue you FOREVER and a day. Ohio drives me batty sometimes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriah4 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hey I agree on Ky. I have been thinking of hitting the State Repersentative who lives here in town. Don't know that I would have any luck but his mom taught me piano when I was a youngin. So Maybeeeeeee Think its worth a shot?Blessings Moriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerikaner83 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I think the first step is to make your views known to your state Representatives in STATE CAPITOL. Then I think you might be able to gather siggies for an initiative to change the law...? not quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I think you might be able to gather siggies for an initiative to change the law...? not quite sure.Yeah, I am not quite sure either. That's the problem. I guess that's a good place to start - maybe if I am barking up the wrong tree they will tell me who else to bother! I haven't really done any research or written any letters yet because I don't feel educated enough with the current laws. I don't want to whine..." All the other states have short SOL's..." Although, that's what I feel like saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolah Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I found this in the Ohio Revised Code...2305.03 Lapse of time a bar.( No civil action that is based upon a cause of action that accrued in any other state, territory, district, or foreign jurisdiction may be commenced and maintained in this state if the period of limitation that applies to that action under the laws of that other state, territory, district, or foreign jurisdiction has expired or the period of limitation that applies to that action under the laws of this state has expired.Effective Date: 10-01-1953; 04-07-2005 The way I read this - the SOL from another state would apply if the debt incurred in that state. This is also referred to as a "borrowing statute".Has anyone contacted a NACA.net lawyer in OH? I have heard they don't return phone calls.

pas Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I think if you contacted the state representative and specified that you would like to know why Ohio's SOL is so much longer and what actions can a citizen take to try and change it they might give you some helpful info. It may take more than one contact to get the info you want rather than just some form reply, so be persistent. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably be drafting a letter soon and will post it for critique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
