Question

What exactly time-barred account mean?

Mister Micawber · Accepted Answer

Well, I found 'time-barred debt':

It seems to be the same thing (http://www.ellislawgrp.com/article05time.html),i.e., the account is an account of debt owed to a creditor.

Can we use this Word for the accounts which have not been used over some time ( e.g. 5 years)?

No. Those are called 'dormant accounts'.
