In March 2000 plaintiff brought a RICO action and other claims against defendant arising out of actions taken in the summer of 1995. The court dismissed all claims on the ground that the applicable statutes of limitation had run. The question on appeal is whether the court erred in dismissing the RICO claim, pursuant to a five-year statute of limitation. We find the trial court committed error in dismissing the claim and therefore reverse that part of the order.

Vincent Chang hired David Beal to complete certain improvements to his home. Bank of America, which provided Chang a loan for the improvements, was to disburse the loan proceeds to Beal when the project was complete. On August 3, 1995, the bank disbursed to Beal $37,000 of the $38,000 loan. Beal failed to complete the project, and the work that was done was substandard. On March 10, 2000, Chang filed a complaint1 against the bank, alleging fraud, conversion, and violation of Georgia’s RICO Act.2 Chang did not effect service on the bank until July 17, 2000.
