Hello ****. In Missouri, the statute of limitations for property damage is 5 years. That means Enterprise can pursue damages up to 5 years after the incident. However, they should provide proof of the damage. If they can't, you can dispute the charge.
They inspected the car when I turned it in with no damage noted
Hello ****. If no damage was noted during the inspection when you returned the car, you can dispute the claim. You may need:
