860834 2010-02-23 03:54:00 Call the C.A.B., I'll try and find the number for you...

Edit, nevermind. Cato is onto it.

Supposed to be 7 years if you pay it eventually and 5 years if you don't.

But of course they NEVER remove you from their database.

860838 2010-02-23 07:37:00 If you owe it pay it. prefect (6291)
860839 2010-02-23 09:29:00 I don't think you should be worrying about any statute of limitations. Some company or person, thought you were worthy of credit and in good faith extended that credit to you.

You accepted that credit / goods / money and gave an undertaking you would pay it back.

I agree with Prefect: if you owe it, pay it. :(

860841 2010-02-23 20:02:00 Some debt collectors spend their lives trying to extort money owed by the companys who employ them.

I once had an outstanding debt about 20 years ago. The company appointed a debt collector scummy, filthy son-of-a-biatch to recover the goods (a bedroom suite).

The low life pond dwelling SOB couldn't re-take the suite, so he broke in through a window and stole my valuable coin collection.

Recently I had a debt collector trying to extort money from me for an outstanding debt - just 80 bucks. I threatened to whack the crap out of him, and this wimp (although he was probably 110 kg's and 6'+ tall), instead of facing me, called the cops. I was issued with a warning by the cop.

In retrospect, as he was trespassing, I shoulda just beat the crap out of him and be charged with a defence of self defence.
