If the debt is yours, then you are still responsible for it. A debt never expires. A write off is just a tax/accounting maneuver and has no bearing on your responsibility to pay the debt.

However, if this debt is that old, the Statute of Limitations has probably past which means they cannot use legal means to collect this debt. All they can do is dun you.
