Syllabus

<p>Statute of limitations — Acknowledgment of debt — Promise to pay.</p> <p>The acknowledgment of a debt must be clear, distinct and unequivocal in order to take it out of the operation of the statute of limitations. Mere failure to dispute the account, mere protestation of inability to pay in the past and in the present, the mere expression of willingness to receive the visit of the agent of the alleged creditor at some future date, neither singly nor combined amounts to an acknowledgment of the debt sufficient to toll the statute.</p>
