Statute of limitations on asking for "missing" payment after a mistake
Hello,
What are the statute of limitations for asking someone for a payment that was otherwise "missed"? For example; I purchased a house back in May/June 2008 and I cleared all my payments to my lawyer straight away. I just received a letter in the mail stating that he was looking over his accounts and realized that he did not charge me for the assignment of rents which would be another $70. I am angry that after 8 months I am still receiving a bill that I regarded as paid entirely. I assume businesses can not approach clients years later for a mistake they made on their initial bill, it just doesn't seem fair. Please help, I could not find a concise piece of information pertaining to statute of limitations. Thank you kindly, Sara
