Related termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A statute is a formal written enactment of a legislative authority that governs a country, state, city, or county. Typically, statutes command or prohibit something, or declare policy. The word is often used to distinguish law made by legislative bodies from case law and the regulations issued by Government agencies. Statutes are sometimes referred to as legislation or "black letter law". As a source of law, statutes are considered primary authority (as opposed to secondary authority). Before a statute becomes law in some countries, it must be agreed upon by the highest executive in the government, and finally published as part of a code. In many countries, statutes are organized in topical arrangements (or "codified") within publications called codes, such as the United States Code. In the United States, statutory law is distinguished from and subordinate to constitutional law. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the statute of limitations on a company charging your credit card? Q. We had a company charge our credit card about two weeks ago that we closed 1 1/2 years ago due to it being stolen. We got a letter in the mail stating that a charge was made using that number and that they tried several times to reach us, no they didn't letter was the first we heard about it, and they transferred the charge to the new account number. I can't understand how the bank can not raise a red flag on this charge, and actually just roll it over to the new account. So I am wondering that when you make a purchase, how long does the company have to charge your credit card before the statute of limitations expires? The card is a government travel card, or GTC, for military members. This is the card they use when they are on the… [cont.] Asked by Goose - Tue Sep 5 17:47:16 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It sounds like you notified the credit company of the theft, but did you ever file a police report and send a copy of the report to the credit company? If you had a balance on that card that "you" made, before it was stolen, did you pay that when you closed the card? If it was from a charge that you had made before the card was stolen, then yes, you are responsible for it. If the charge was made after the card was stolen and you had notified the credit company of the theft, they should not be placing anything on another account of yours. You should contact them, but don't speak to the first putz that answers the phone, ask for the supervisor or better yet, ask for the fraud department. Find out what is going on. They should clear it up. [cont.] Answered by echo - Tue Sep 5 18:24:26 2006 How does statute of limitations work exactly? Q. I'm referring to criminal. I know how lawsuits are... like you have x years to file your suit... But what about for a criminal act? Take this example scenario, a person commits a crime (not murder or something with no statute...) a warrant is put out for their arrest. Now, how does this work? If they aren't caught in x years then the charge disappears? Or is it that the police have x years to charge them but if they are actually charged it never expires? See my question? Asked by BeachBum - Sat Jul 1 19:31:58 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Once a charge or warrant is out, it's out. You have 'x' amount of years to file a suit or charge the person. Like rape. Depending on where you are it's something like 12 years to charge someone.

Q. Asset Acceptance is holding two small utility debts of mine. The statute of limitations has run out but they resubmitted the debt to the credit agencies as if they are new.
