YOUR STATE NAME - California
On a trip to Reno, NV I used my credit card for a cash advance at the casino's cashier desk. Four months later I see the transaction on my statement. What is the time frame in which the casino has to file the transaction? Is there a statute of limitations for merchants to file credit card transactions? If the transaction was posted immediately, I would agree. But four months late, I don't think I should be responsible. Any helpful advice will be appreciated.:)

I am not sure what the legal issue is here, you received the funds and owe the cc for the cash advance. Obviously there was some mix up or it wouldn't have taken them four months to actually post it to you account. You most likely didn't call this to their attention hoping it would never show up, but the fact still remains you owe them for the money you received.

If your lucky they didn't go back that four months and charge you interest and you got to use their money for four months without interest, but you still have the obligation to pay it back.

My response:

By signing the credit card slip in Nevada, you entered into a written contract with the casino. In Nevada, a written contract has a 6 year Statute of Limitations.

So, your 4 months was nothing. While it may have been a "slip up" somewhere along the line, if the casino had never gotten it's money, they would have had 6 years to go after you (but, that's not counting "Luigi" coming over to your home and "kneecapping" you).

Thanks for the heads up IAAL. I had no idea the statute of limitations is that long in NV.

My response:

Heck, that's nothing - - if you had made a purchase in Ohio (as only one example), their SOL is 15 years! Never enter into a Ohio contract ! They'll "get you" for a good portion of your life.

But, as a comparison, and because you're from California, the California SOL on written contracts is 4 years.

Good luck to you.
