    Default Do I Have Liability for a Bill That is Two Years Late

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Illinois

    The management company for my home owner's association forget to bill me account for two years worth of garage parking for one of my cars. I did not realize the error because I thought the parking was being charged to another account for another unit we own in the same building which my husband handles. Two years later, the management company realized its error and placed a $3,600 charge on my account for two years worth of garage parking. Is there any law about how far back someone can get billed? Does the management/billing company have an obligation to send reasonably timely invoices?

    I would say the right to collect is the time to start the running of the statute of limitations. They can bill any time they want. They can only collect if the debt is withing the statute.

    the minimum statute of limitations in Illinois for debts is 5 years. I would have to presume this is based on a written contract though. If so, the sol is 10 years.


    Either way they can demand payment and seek enforcement of their claim through the courts

    I'll just bet that there is something in your CC&Rs that say you pay the fee even if you don't get billed.
