Is it too late to recover a debt that has been outstanding for years — what are the time limits? — Immani lets you file a dispute against the debtor's phone number for KSh 100. Recovering an outstanding debt can be a frustrating experience, especially when it's been years since the debt was incurred. You may be wondering if it's too late to take action. In Kenya, the time limit for recovering a debt depends on the type of debt and the circumstances surrounding it. The Limitation of Actions Act in Kenya sets out the time limits for various types of debts. For example, the time limit for recovering a debt from a contract is six years from the date the debt became due. For debts related to torts, such as negligence, the time limit is three years. However, the usual advice to get a lawyer and go to court can be daunting, especially for small debts. The court process can be slow, and the costs can be prohibitive. For many everyday disputes, there's a faster option. Here's how Immani works in this specific context:

1. File a dispute against the debtor's phone number for KSh 100.
2. The debtor is notified immediately and has a short private window to respond and engage directly.
3. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up the debtor's phone number on Immani.
4. The dispute only closes when both parties confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding. Immani and Immani Legal AI are not law firms and do not provide legal advice.
