Judgment 6 years after 1st for

    Is it possible in the state of Florida for a debt collection agency or attorney repesenting a creditor to obtain a Judgment 6 years after the original creditor's first formal demand of payment?. FYI, the original creditor is a foreign bank and does not have a presence in Florida. To date, no such Judgment has been awarded against the debtor in Florida or USA, and it is unknown whether one exists in the bank's home country.

    As I understand, Florida statute prohibits any Action on a Judgment to be taken after 5 years (statute of limitations). However, is there a time limitation on when a Judgment itself can be filed against a debtor?

    Further, is there any other type of action that can be taken against the debtor (such as registering the debt with CRA's in the USA - even though this was probably already done 6 years ago in the foreign bank's home country?

    Thanks in advance, and sorry it's so long!

    ttt.

    Also, there is no record of the alleged debt with the CRA's here in the USA - yet! Can the collection agency add it on now?
