Re: 5 years later want payment

If there was no judgment entered and you did not sign the lease under "seal" then you may have a statute of limitations issue. Simply being old does not mean that the statute has run. If the case was filed and never served that will stay the statute as well.

I would be happy to discuss your matter further, please contact me if you would like to.
