Wage garnishments and collections
in Law ·
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone here might have some insight into my situation.
Back on July 16, 2007, I enrolled in a two-year part-time program at a local university. When I signed the contract, I agreed to pay an initial installment $700 which I did, but there was a second payment due by February 28, 2008, otherwise they were going to automatically drop me from the program.
Since I ended up walking away from school almost immediately—meaning I didn't pass a single exam or even attend much—I just assumed I had been withdrawn and that the second payment was a moot point. Well, it turns out I was wrong. Out of nowhere, I just received a formal notice from the university stating that I still owe them the remaining $700 balance. It’s funny how they suddenly remembered this after more than six years of silence. Can I actually invoke the statute of limitations here, or am I stuck footing this bill? Thanks in advance.
