Q: I am 64 years old and an insurance agent. I have an insurance company saying I owe the $25,000 plus for a commission 200
2003 commission. I don't agree with this at all but they have turned it over to an attorneys office for collection. Is there a clinic or someway I can get advice ???
A: At first glance, the fact that the purported commission is from 2003 seems to make the action outside the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is the time frame in which a lawsuit can be filed. The statute of limitations for a breach of written contract (assuming that is what this is) is 4 years. Depending on why they claim you owe the money, they may not be able to collect it (even if you do owe it) if it is outside the statute of limitations. If you do want advice, the Legal Aid Society may be able to assist you.
