foreclosure statute of limitations

would a mortgage fall under the term a “time-barred” debt?

Had an illegal foreclosure back in 97′ & want to know if there is a statute of limitations
Had an illegal foreclosure in 97′ which was thrown out of court.Is there a statute of limitations on how long they have to correct it?

State laws vary, but quite likely that a debt that old would be invalid. However, there may also be a latent property claim that has a longer statute of limitations. For example, the illegally ejected owner could reclaim the property within, say, 10 years after the action of foreclosure was falsely executed. On the other hand, that same person may have waived those rights many years ago as part of the foreclosure. In any case, the defense will raise the question of laches (delay) if a property transaction is to be “undone” through an equitable remedy.
