Yes, there is a cut-off, the SOL would certainly come into play, it is an absolute affirmative defense. HOWEVER, you would have had to USE that affirmative defense BEFORE they were awarded the judgment. The thing with an affirmative defense is if you don't use it .. you lose it. You didn't use it before, you cannot use it now to have the judgment vacated.

Depending on how long ago the judgment was rendered, you *may* be able to challenge it, but in most states the time limit for that is 1 year. In CA its only 6 months. Once that time period expires, you're fairly stuck with the judgment :(

Were you served a summons for the lawsuit ?
