Hill v. American Express

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

ANDREWS, Presiding Judge.

American Express sued Ricky Hill to recover $47,716.44 in unpaid credit card charges. Hill did not dispute that he owed money, but contended that the applicable statute of limitation barred suit on all but a small portion of the amount claimed. The trial court held that the six-year statute of limitation for simple contracts applied in this case and granted American Express’s motion for summary judgment and denied Hill’s motion for summary judgment. We agree that the statute of limitation in this case is six years and affirm.
