I believe in Alberta they have two years to sue a person from the time of last payment.

Thank your for your input. I thought this might be the case but I was wanting another opinion.

Guess, I'll start researching Alberta laws.

If the contract was signed in Manitoba, then the laws of Manitoba would apply.

Which SOL applies to a resident of BC with a contract based in Alberta

I was wondering if the statute of limitations on debt is based on the province where the original contract is signed or the province where it has gone into default.

I have a line of credit with TD Canada Trust from when we lived in Alberta a few years ago. It was a joint account and my co-applicant declared bankruptcy leaving me with a substantial debt.

I have been back in BC for the last 4 years and the debt has just gone to collections; however, we never had our accounts transferred here, so our branch is still the one in Alberta.

Will my statute of limitations be based on Alberta laws where the debt contract originated, or by BC laws where the account began to go into default.?
