Statutes of limitations vary by claim and state; timing depends on breach, fraud, or regulatory claims. Consult a local attorney to determine the precise deadlines for your facts in California.
Damages may include monetary losses, interest, penalties, and sometimes injunctive relief to stop unlawful actions. In some cases, courts can order rescission or specific performance related to loan terms.
