I Lost Key Receipt
Hello,
I borrowed a key for a room at university. I already returned the key in February. Now, in July, they are saying that they cannot find my key in their office. They sent me an email telling me to either return the key or give them the receipt until tomorrow. Problem is that I lost the receipt.
I would really like to avoid paying for something I did not do.
Is it right for them to blame me 5 months later? What should I do now?
Thanks a lot!
PS: I am in Switzerland, maybe that changes things.

Yes, it would mean that you would need to explore your rights under Swiss law. This forum only deals in U.S. legal issues.

Re: I Lost Key Receipt
Could you give some reasonable argument so that I could convince them that it is their fault and not mine?
Because I have the impression that if I do not say anything they will just make me pay it whereas if I provide a good argument to why it is too late for them to complain they might accept my argument.
Thanks a lot

Re: I Lost Key Receipt
You are asking us to research Swiss law... which is, most likely, written in a language that the folks here can't read.
