Hi,
I have a question please.
I have an old debt from 2003/2004 that a collection firm has been trying to collect on with me off and on for years. I challenged this debt time and time again with the original creditor and several collection agencies they turned it over to (or sold to) over the past years and never got anywhere. I have copies of the letters I wrote. I was cheated and incorrectly charged with the original debt owed and along the way I have lost several jobs and now have been unemployed for the past 9 months. Anyway, I haven't heard from this particular agency in a long time and they have now tracked down my present address and have sent a new request for payment once again. I moved from GA (where the original debt was) to Florida in 2003. Can this still be collected upon? I thought the statute of limitations has run out by now and they shouldn't be asking anymore. I know it's on my credit report and I have disputed it several times to no avail.
Do I have to keep worrying about this debt? I plan to write this agency and tell them to stop contacting me, but I don't want to start up anything with them either.
Any advice?
