Time Barred Loan Dispute

Summary

In Michigan, a debt is time-barred if the statute of limitations has expired, typically six years. An incorrect social security number on a mortgage may affect its validity. If a bank claims you owe money on a loan from ten years ago, verify details and consider disputing the claim. Request documentation, check your credit report, and consult a local attorney for personalized advice. If the debt never went to collections, the statute of limitations may still apply.
