Does US law have a statute of limitations on debt? Not clear to me that we
would want to vary that. However, the pragmatic point that we might not
want to keep records longer than X years is reasonable.
How long are we required to keep records for other purposes (e.g., IRS
requirements)? How long do we actually keep records for?
