Invoicing time period

[richardfinch]

does anyone know if there is a time period for invoicing, ie,m if a company tried to invoice me for something 9 months ago? is there a time limit from receiving goods / services that must be met in order for an invoice to be legitimately paid
thanks

if there is it will certainly be far more than 9 months, if you have received goods or services then there is a debt due.

If there is a limit it will be more than 9 months! The only time you might have a case is if it becomes statute barred -after 6 years I think.

No there isn't.

If you ordered goods or services and they neglegted to invoice at the time then a later invoice would still be due. I'd imagine that like any other debt it wouldn't be legally enforceable if it was more than six years later but it would still actually be due even then.

[ummmm]

On the accounts package I used to use a debt couldn't be written off until it was 18 months overdue.

But you can't get away with not paying just because someone probably forgot to print off the invoice.

I believe the debt is due until paid, as long as the services or goods have been recvd. You have got away for long enough so it is your duty to own up and request an invoice, if you like an honest life!!!
