The statute of limitations for verbal contracts is indeed 2 years. CCP Section 339. The statute of limitations ofr written contracts in California, however, is four years. CCP Section 337. Certain types of contracts have longer statutes of limitations, so I would suggest that you consult an attorney and provide the details of your situation. Good Luck
