Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Statute of Limitations

the invoice here would be legally deemed a contract. the statute of limitations for contracts are 4 years in california. thus, if the debt is 8 years old, you are not liable for payment on it under the facts given. you should have an attorney send out such a legal letter on your behalf and end this dispute quickly before the CPAS tries to take you to court or put negative marks on your credit reports. if you would like further assistance here, contact us today.

Re: Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for written contracts is usually 4 years, so unless you've done something to renew the contract in that time, he's very likely too late to sue you for payment. That doesn't stop people from sending invoices, though.

Re: Statute of Limitations

He's about 4 years too late. Feel free to contact me if you need further assistance because we are located in the same county.

Re: Statute of Limitations

If you have not acknolwedged this debt within the last four years (by payment or written acknowledgment), then the answer is "NO".

You should simply write him back and advise that (1) you don't recognize this invoice, must be an error; and (2) if he believes it is not an error, to provide backup.

Once you "confirm" that the debt is more than four years old, you can tell the guy to stop harassing you.
