Ok. Whew. Mind is spinning with all this new info! Question #1 (of many to come!)- I have been residing overseas for years. CA's are a-looking for me stateside! SOL runs out Sept 06, and I want to avoid getting sued until then! All of my personal info on my CR is incorrect. I have a new last name (but my SSN has been changed for some time), my employment status has changed to unemployed, and my CR shows my address as either my mother's (my permanent address while I've been overseas) or the address of my last employer in Kuwait. I'm currently in England. Would it be a bad idea to update my info, showing my England address? My rationale, which could be wrong, is if I change all this info and they see I am out of the country and unemployed, they will give up. Wishful thinking? Someone on another forum mentioned "tolling law" whereby if you leave the state and resurface later, CA's can extend the SOL and pursue you for the length of time you were gone. Is this right? I am concerned that they would drop a summons at my last known residence, and I will have no idea. When I don't show up in court, and have no idea they have a judgement against me...well, that's just my biggest fear. Thoughts on updating my personal info?
I have also heard that the SOL is frozen when you leave the State that the debt is in. I would imagine the same is true when you leave the country. If you have a new ss# and a new last name you may be able to avoid paying for a while but I don't know how legal that is.
Same SSN..my new name just isn't on my CR. Guess I have been "living" in Virginia all this time..heh...or I never will return...
