I've read and re-read the statute of limitations, but I guess I am just dense, because I can't figure out where a medical debt would fall under. Especially one that an agreement to pay was never signed. It is for medication. I am in Illinois and the pharmacy is in Tennesee. THe meds were delivered to me in Illinois. thanks!!

ps unrelated, but when I log in I check the box that says sign me in each time I visit the site, and it doesn't - gotta sign in each time. Is it just me? :(


Even though you may not have signed a "written agreement" per se, a contract does still exist. I'm sure that when they shipped the meds, they also sent an invoice with it. The invoice probably stated terms such as Net 30. Your acceptance of the goods also constituted your acceptance of the terms of that invoice.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) generally governs sales transactions. While the UCC is adopted at the state level, most states adopt it in its entirety. Therefore the UCC is pretty much the same for every state. In particular:
Quote:

(810 ILCS 5/2????????725) (from Ch. 26, par. 2????????725)
Sec. 2????????725. Statute of Limitations in Contracts for Sale.
(1) An action for breach of any contract for sale must be commenced within 4 years after the cause of action has accrued. By the original agreement the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than one year but may not extend it.
