I have recently started getting calls regarding a past debt of 10 years. They were bugging me so much and I was not sure if I was required to pay this because I was not 100% clear on when the statue of limitations began. I made a payment to them over the phone of $25.00 for a bill of $1600.00. After I made the payment of course I found out that I do not have to pay this because of the statue of limitations ran out for them. However, the gentlemen that keeps calling states that because I made a payment I have reinforced the statue of limitations. Is this True? Can they collect this debt from me through the court system or he is he just telling me this.
Confused!
