I found on my credit reoprt a collection agency that has an old utility bill ($125 dollar gas bill) of mine from 2005. No one has ever tried to collect this money from me. (it is out of sol anyway right?) If I just pay it, do I still have to wait until 2012 for this to fall off!?


"SOL depends on state" is a question impossible for me to figure out. Missouri but what kind of account is it?

Missouri Statutes of Limitation
Written agreement that contemplates the payment of money or property: 10 Years, (Mo.Rev. Stat. ??5l6.ll 0). NOTE: Under certain circumstances, the contractual statute of limitations may be reduced to five years.

Open accounts: 5 years, (Mo. Rev. Stat. ??5l6.l20).

Sale of goods under the UCC: 4 years. NOTE: The statute begins to run from the date when the breach occurred for contracts and from the time of the last item in the account on the debtor's side for actions on accounts.

Anyone want to take a guess?

Got to be either 4 years, 5 years or 10 years. I don't guess that there are any sol's in missouri for debt less than 4 years. Open accounts in Missouri 5 years? Are cc accounts considered OPEN accounts in Missouri? Thanks beli! I get sooooo confused I think because I live in Colorado now, but I opend the utility account in Missouri, so Missouri sol applies, I think. Yikes, idk.
