If you rented furniture nine (9) years ago and then ended up returning it within the last four (4) years, then under most laws of all states in this country any claim for money owed by you would be time barred by the applicable statute of limitations regardless of the issue of returning the items or not.If the store that you did business with is harassing you about the matter and you want it to stop, I suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices law in the area of consumer debt to write a cease and desist letter for you where you are not to be contacted in the future.
