The Greenville city council members developed a detailed financial plan to use the annual budget that serves its taxpayers with economic improvements.

Commercial Debt Laws

In the legal system, statutes of limitations are mandatory time limits put in place to provide fairness and practicality when filing lawsuits. In Greenville, the statute of limitations is 3 years for open accounts, written contracts and domestic judgments. For Foreign judgments the statute of limitations is 10 years.

When a company with outstanding debt gives checks with full knowledge it has insufficient funds, the legal system has bad check laws in place to deal with the company. In South Carolina, bad check laws include court costs in the amount of the check and any additional damages up to $300 or three times the check amount.
