Late Billing

[bracken78]

Hi all, just a very quick question.

If I brought something in December and have only just been billed today, as it is almost 3 months late do I have to pay? (Can I just point out I will be paying it as I brought it and am not a thief). It was a Christmas present for someone and I didn't notice it had not been billed to be as was a small amount (Under £10).

You bought it, you should pay for it.

Erm simple answer - yes!

Don't be so damn tight, you've just enjoyed three months free credit and in the present economic climate you should thank your lucky stars for such financial luxuries.

Technically if you don't pay then you're a thief!

Oh and debts can be pursued for up to 6 years before they can no longer be pursued by law - not 3 months!

Someone once told me that if you are not billed within 90 days, legally you don't have to pay.

I have neither acted on this info, nor attempted to confirm/clarify, but as my posting fingers are on fire this afternoon I just thought I'd add my 2p.

Yeah!!!!

Obviously ignoring the fact that you've already said that you are going to pay for it and you're not a thief etc.

YEAH!! Thief! Don't be so tight! rant etc.

So why ask PH if you should pay for it then?

Thanks for the answer. It was more an out of interest question than anything else. I knew I should not have asked.

Also, interest free on 10 pounds, great I've save loads there.....
