I live in Mississippi. Nine years ago I used a check advance service. Then I went through a divorce and my finances took a nose dive. So I defaulted on paying for the check they were holding for me. They never turned it in and apparently held on to it all these years. Recently they contacted me and demanded payment. I paid them $20 per month for 3 months. They said I owed them about $340 total. Now I have been laid off and can not even afford the $20. A friend told me that the statute of limitations has long run out on this, but I do not want to take their word for it. I do intend on paying this, but can not spare anything right now. Was my friend correct, or will they be able to prosecute. I missed one payment already, and have not heard from them.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
