Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
statute of limitations question
I recently was called by a credit company about a unpayed phone bill from 2001. My question is what is the statute of limitations on this?

Tell them never to call you again because the statute ran four years from when you last paid the bill. They're calling the wrong number.

Generally, it is 4 years from the date of last service or payment. You should send them a validation letter. You can find a sample at my website, www.californiadebtblog.com

The statute of limitations is normally 4 years from the date of the breach. Did you receive any letter demanding payment?
