The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for unpaid consumer loan installments because the three-year limitation period had expired. The plaintiff failed to prove any interruption of this period, despite the defendant's non-appearance and the transfer of the debt to the plaintiff. Consequently, the court ruled that the claim was time-barred under the Civil Code without examining other merits.
