Thread: Vet Bill Problem

hello again to all at the group.

bit mew at this so please bear with me!

my friend has received a vet bill for £39.00 which vet states she owes from work done to her dog seven years ago. my friend is adamant she paid at each visit for any treatment.
this is first contact in seven years even though she has not moved house for about ten years. she has no proof she paid it and tried ignoring letter but vet now threatening her with solicitor. she did ring vet then to say dhe does not owe this money but they insist she does.
Is there a time limit on sending out bills - what can my friend do next

thanks

Greenway

I had a similar thing with a plumber. Since I paid every invoice on presentation, I said I had to reject his claim because I paid all his bills, and for him to come up with one I supposedly missed was unlikely. Only then did I point out he only had 6 years to collect, as it is important to let them know you aren't using this as your primary reason for non-payment, but they aren't due the money in the first place.
