Consumer debt claim dismissed due to two-year statute of limitations despite alleged non-receipt of notices.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the consumer's defense regarding the statute of limitations, ruling that the two-year limitation period had not expired. The defendant argued he could not defend against a price payment claim because evidence was lost over time, but the court found the limitation period was interrupted by multiple payment reminders sent between 2013 and 2016. Since the defendant did not prove he never received these notices, the court held he bore the risk of his address change and the claim remained valid.
