Can They Collect on a 20 Year Old California Judgment? – Dee

i just found out i have a court judgement from 1980s for $400 on credit card, i was never served. Now they are trying to take $9000+ out of my checking account. This is in CA.

I thought CA had 4 year term for written contracts, how can they excercise a judgement beyond the statute of limitations and what should i do about it to get it nulled and voided/vacated?
