No way of knowing if the limitation period has run out without knowing what state you are in.  Not only that, but limitations is an affirmative defense meaning that the plaintiff is not automatically disqualified from suing you even if the statute had run.  You have several options at this point but time is important because you have an imediately impending return date on the summons that you were served with.    This would be easier to talk about your present options on the telephone.  You are welcome to call me of send me an email if you wish.   You can send an email with your phone number to jhfx@live.com or if you would like for me to send you my phone number, you can send me an email and I will be glad to give it to you so that you can call me at your convenience.
