Can Your Bad Credit Default Be Removed Because Your Old Debt Is Statute Barred
1. What does Statute Barred mean,
2. When is a debt statute barred,
3. When can the time be ‘re-set’.
1. What does Statute Barred mean?
Generally speaking, a debt is ‘Statute Barred’ when it is ‘too old to pursue’.
The ‘limitation’ is usually set by legislation in each State or Territory by an Act such as Limitations of Actions Act
2. When is a debt statute barred?
Australia wide (except NT) is 6 years after you last made a payment or admitted the debt in writing. NT is 3 years.
3. When can the time be ‘re-set’?
The clock resets to zero if you:
1. make any type of payment towards the debt,
2. admit the debt in writing,
3. have a Court Order entered against you.
If the Creditor obtains a Court Judgment, the time is reset to zero from the date of the Court Judgment AND is recoverable for 12 to 15 years depending on which State you’re in.
What does all of this really mean for you?
If your debt is statute barred, it means your creditor can NOT force you to pay the debt. The recovery of the debt is barred by statute.
