Debts and statute of limitations
Preskriptionstid för skulder - Engelska
When you purchase something from a company, the company can demand payment for three years. After three years, the debt is considered prescribed. The company can no longer demand that you pay the debt. However, sometimes the company may get more time. Therefore, do not assume that your debt will be prescribed.
