Debts that may be statute-barred

We checked your debts against state limitation periods (typically 6 years from your last payment or written acknowledgement). If the limitation period has expired, the lender generally cannot sue you to recover — though they can keep asking. We can write a "statute-barred" response for you.

Statute-barred likely

Old GE Capital store-card debt · $940

Last payment: 12 March 2017 (per CDR transaction history)
State: Victoria · Limitation period: 6 years from last payment or written acknowledgement (Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s5)
Limitation period likely expired: 12 March 2023 — over 3 years ago
Currently being pursued by: ARL Collect (purchased the debt from GE Capital in 2019)

Sarah K. can review this before you send. Some actions, like making a small payment or acknowledging the debt in writing, can affect limitation periods.
