    In terms of once a judgement is taken - a person has 30 years to act upon it - no prescription there.
    Domicillum is used for service of documents and a person must inform the relevant parties when domicillum changes.

    I agree with Dave ask them to furbish the proof of judgment. There are plenty of companies that collect outstanding money on commision basis and use these type of tactics.

    If they can do so you can then explore your options. you can have the judgement rescinded but if you do owe the money you will still need to pay it provided teh collection procedures were started before teh debt prescribed. if the debt had prescribed it does not mean that it falls away. prescription is a defence taht you can raise at a S65 hearing.
