You have 6 years to prove the debt, if I understand Statute of Limitations correctly

IANAL, but it would seem to be an unfair contract term and probably unenforceable. You can't expect anyone to work for nothing, and they'll have been paid by the client. In fact, it could be argued, that if they realised you hadn't invoiced them, and made no effort to contact you, that they've commited theft.
That's if you hadn't raised the invoice.
Personally, I'd always assume I had raised it - unless I knew differently.Last edited by NotAllThere; 7 September 2009, 10:54.

Originally posted by TIMONLINE View PostI've just discovered that an invoice I raised (or failed to raise) 10 months ago was never paid. The agency involved states on their website that invoices might be submitted within 6 weeks for payment to be made, although I do not see anything in my actually contract to this effect.
Are agencies legally able to make such a rule or are they bound to pay an invoice for work completed no matter how long after the invoice is sent?
