The statute of limitations on contract actionsin New Jersey is 6 years. As far as executing on your personal assets, the creditor would have had to obtain a judgment against you to do so. I would suggest you contact an attorney to determine whether the aformentioned statute of limiations applies and when it runs as well as to address any other questions you may have. Good luck.
