Debts and Credit

What are the statute of limitations on a bad check in the state of Kansas? I wrote a bad check almost ten years ago and I thought that it had been taken care of, but I received a letter saying that I have an arrest warrant because of this.

I received a check from a previous employer. I cashed the check in good faith at a check cashing service. The check was written on January 25th, cashed on January 31st, and deposited by the service on the 2nd of February. A stop payment order was placed on the check. On April 20th the check cashing service drafted a letter stating that I owed them for the amount of the check. The letter was mailed out on May 9th which is 21 days later arriving at my home on the 11th of May. Almost 2 1/2 months have passed since the check was cashed. Do I owe the money or is it my employer who owes the money and how long does a service have to contact me and let me know. I was given 30 days to resolve but it took 21 days to get the letter to me.

I am inquiring about the statute of limitations on a judgment. I had a collection company call me today about a judgment for a Sears credit card of which I had no knowledge. It is not on my credit report at all. They said that they bought the "bad debt" from Sears and they are now collecting on it. They said the judgment was entered in 1999, so it is 8 years old. I told them that I have never received one piece of mail or a phone call regarding this matter until now. They told me that if I do not pay it (its about $3000.00 and earning interest) that they will put a lien on my house. Can they do this? At the moment I am unemployed and my husband is the only one working and we are just making it. What should I do about this?

My husband, Josh, was involved in a motorcycle accident . The motorcycle was uninsured and the property of his friend, Sean. Josh did not have insurance under his own name either. Sean is now suing my husband for $7000 in damages to the bike in small claims court and is "requesting" that Josh's wages be garnished. What is the maximum percent that can be garnished from Josh's check and is there anything we can do to lower the $7000 that is being asked? I know that Sean has made after market purchases on a couple of parts for the bike.

A relative needed to borrow money (several thousand dollars) for equipment for his business. A friend of his insisted on loaning it to him so he wouldn't have to go thru a bank and pay a bunch of interest. He didn't care how long it took to get his money back and since my relative was having some financial problems it has gone on for five years with no payments. The relative did sign a promissory note (he never did receive his copy) but there was no mention of any rate of interest to be paid, only that he did borrow the stated amount and promised to pay it back. He now has plans to pay off the loan and his friend has told him he owes him a little more than 150% of the original loan amount. The relative planned all along to pay him some interest but can the friend legally add interest on to the loan without it having been stated in the promissory note? At the time of the loan, the relative could probably have gotten a better interest rate at his bank. Also, aren't both parties supposed to get a copy of the promissory note? Should the relative pay the 150% or send his 'friend' the original loan amount plus a thousand or so for the use of his money?
