    Statute of limitations on collections in Quebec
    I had a cell phone account settled and closed in 2005/6.. a collections agency called and mailed me a legal notice for collection on this alleged debt -- they indicated they got the mandate in June 2010! Do they even have th eright to open a file that was closed or not.. after such a long period? Do I need to take any action? They are threatening legal action
    Thank you

    If the account was paid in full and settled, then you sent a confirmation of that to the collection agency and tell them there's an error.

    Is that your question?

    A business in Germany , I live in Quebec, sent an invoice through email for an order which was $26 euros total, I never answered them to confirm , a few weeks latter I got the item in the mail anyway. Never any follow up I put it out of my mind. That was in aug , of 09 , now I just got a collection letter , saying I owe them $265.00 Can. what is the statue of limitations on this , and why should I be responsible for a mistake they made? Why would any one send something over seas with out payment in the fist place? Is there a way out of this with out paying that inflated amount ?
