Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

You should check with a Wisconsin lawyer, but unless there is a judgement already entered in the court against you for the amount claimed, the statute of limitations on open accounts and written and oral contracts is 6 years. I believe Wisconsin law prohibits any collection efforts on accounts where the statute of limitations clock has expired. As such, a ten year old debt should be beyond the statute of limitations and not collectible. Check with a Wisconsin lawyer, however, to confirm if you owe anything. Don't pay anything or sign anything until you check with the lawyer, as your payment and/or agreement may revise the prior debt.
