D. All claims which would be enforceable by suit against the limited liability company except for the provisions of this Subsection, on which suit has not been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction before the expiration of three years after the proceeding for dissolution takes effect, or, if the notice prescribed in Subsection B of this Section was not given and publication thereof commenced within one month after the proceeding takes effect, before the expiration of three years after the giving or completion of publication of the notice, whichever is later, shall be barred perpetually and peremptorily.
