QUESTION
Is there a statue of limitations on court orders re. legal costs
Asked on Mar 30th, 2018 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
we lost a property line dispute in civil court. Unknown to us, we were taxed for legal costs and fees in 2010, but no demand was ever served on us for those costs or fees. Recently we were contacted by a 'debt buyer' who claims the debt was re-assigned to them last month. The Statute of limitations on personal debt in Florida expired last year; do we owe anything to this alleged 'assignee'?

Porbably - judgments are good for 20 years and most such debts are reduced to judgment when you lose.
