More details to this question:
It has been over 4 years and the creditor is calling and sending letters. I have never taken there calls or responded to any of there letters. When is the statue of limitation up? If it is past the statue of limitations can I tell them not to call anymore because it is past the statue of limitation?

Typically a 5 year statute would apply to a breach of written contract. Be careful refusing to return a vehicle that is collateral as there are many instances where a civil dispute turns criminal and becomes a much bigger issue than need be.
