OPINION
EVANDER, J.
Greg Klebanoff and Thuy Klebanoff ("the Klebanoffs") appeal the trial court's final judgment of foreclosure in favor of the Bank of New York Mellon, f/k/a The Bank of New York, as Trustee for the Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc., Alternative Loan Trust 2006-HY11, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-HY11 ("the Bank"). On appeal, the Klebanoffs argue that this court should reverse the final judgment of foreclosure because the Bank's action was barred by the applicable statute of limitations. We affirm.

The complaint further alleged that the Bank was "declar[ing] the full amount payable under the Note and Mortgage." The Klebanoffs filed an answer generally denying the allegations of the complaint and raising the statute of limitations as an affirmative defense. At trial, the Bank presented evidence reflecting that the Klebanoffs had failed to make the March 1, 2009 payment and any payment thereafter. The trial court entered a final judgment in favor of the Bank, and this appeal followed.
