In North Carolina, zombie debt refers to old debts that are no longer enforceable in court due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which is typically three years for most consumer debts. These debts often resurface when collectors attempt to collect on them, even though the debtor is not legally obligated to pay. Consumers should be cautious and verify the age of any debt before making payments, as acknowledging or making a payment can sometimes reset the statute of limitations.

Would any part of a 5-year auto loan be considered a current liability?

The portion of payments due in the current period (1 yr) are considered the current portion of long term debt; the remainder would be considered long term debt, though this is difficult to justify, given that auto loans are consumer debt - that is debt that is not tax deductable.
