S.C. Code § 15-3-530 South Carolina Code allows Three years. Apparently, South Carolina can claim or commandeer any State Income Tax refund you may have coming back and send it to hospitals, or doctors for unpaid bills -- EVEN if the bills are not owed because of a mixup or negligence on the part of the insurance company. There is no Due Process required via a judgment, no legal remedy, and no protection from this Draconian State practice. The worst and most criminal of these policies actually allows doctors to collect from spouses of deceased individuals even years after their spouse died. And, South Carolina will collect from your state income tax return for bills owed by your dead spouse in other states. Although the above is somewhat true, it only applies the recovery of monies owed to Medicaid not to private medical caregivers.

There is none. There is no garnishment in South Carolina, however the loaning institution may seek to settle the debt thru civil suit, which will remain on public record until resolved. If you are asking of debt forgiveness in case of bancruptcy, then your answer is 7 years.

In South Carolina they have set medical debts documented in writing at 3 years. That gives them a fairly long period of time in which to collect. And it will be measured from the last acknowledgment of the debt, payment or letter from the person who owes.

Medical services are normally provided under a written agreement. In South Dakota the limitation is set at six years. The time begins at service or last acknowledgment, whichever is later.

In most places it depends on whether it is written or oral agreement. However in North Carolina they are all three years.

If there has been a conviction, there is no statute of limitations involved. The purpose of a statute of limitations is to prevent someone being tried for something that happened long in the past, when the memories of witnesses have been fogged by time, or influenced by others. Some states don't have a statute of limitations for felonies. Once you have been convicted of a felony, it will stay on your record for life, it doesn't go away.
