Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

Re: taking to court

Even if you have not signed a written contract, there still may be an oral contract based on what you have said with the other person. There can even be a contract present where you don't have anything signed but you and the other person act as if you had a contract.

For an oral contract, the statute of limitations is 6 years, meaning a lawsuit can be brought any time within 6 years of the claimed breach (you not paying).

I would suggest you speak with an attorney to more fully explain your situation and see what options you have for defending the suit or possible suit if this is just a threat.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
