I am being threatened with a pending small claims case for work done back in 2003. The service provider is stating there are unpaid invoices - which he admits he was sending to the wrong name and that were then returned to him (though the bills we did receive were all paid). We know he is just trying to get extra money on the chance that we will want to avoid court. What is the statute of limitation in filing the case- is it 6 or 7 years. And- is it then from the date of service provided, or date of last invoice?

It is from the date you last sent them ANY money.
Them sending it to the wrong address doesn't make it any less that you owe them
What state do you live in that makes a difference on the SOL.
Do you have an 800 number for them?

We are in WI. He shows that he invoiced us for dates of service in June, Aug and Sept- and that we had made some payments through that time. What are we responsible for?

Is this a new question or are you adding to the previous question?
If so - what is your question and what State are you in.
