In 2001, I signed a confession of judgment with a promissory note for a company I was parting with. The note is in default if any payment is past due and has an acceleration clause stating the entire amount is due upon default. The clause also waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand, and notice of every kind, and the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense. The documents are bound by California law, and I understand that section 360.5 of the civil code prohibits indefinite waiver of the statute of limitations (SOL). Since the documents were executed in 2001, payments stopped in 2004, and there has been no acknowledgment of the debt or actions from the company, do I have a safe defense using the SOL?
