Is there a statue of limitations for money owed to you in Wisconsin?
Was in business bit not any longer.
Person has owed me money for 5 years.
Under 10,000. Have talked to that
person as says latter in year they
could pay but never does. Can I still
go after after so long. Have not given
bill to them in years either.

If they owe you money, it is presumably according to some contract or agreement (even if only an oral, or unwritten, one), such as that you would provide goods or services and they would pay you. In your state, the statute of limitations is six (6) years under Section 893.43 of the state code. You appear to still be in time to sue, but should do so soon, before yet more time passes.
