My husband took out a loan from the Bank of Nova Scotia back in 1994 I believe... they still call and send letters. To the best of me knowledge he's never paid on this or if he has it was a long time ago.
Can they still try to contact him or have SOL come and gone? Is there a letter I can send similar to this: We live in the USA and all I can find are American letters...
