If you have a contract or a written promissory note covering the debt the statute of limitations is 6 years starting from the date when you were supposed to pay, but didn't. Going to the district attorney to collect a debt is not favored. DA's don't like it when the criminal process is used to collect a debt. Unless you stole the money or embezzled it or otherwise took it unlawfully, (i.e., through fraud etc.) there is no basis for a criminal charge.
