    Any debt that exceeds seven years in age is, by law, no longer valid. I am not sure which legal statute you need to cite.

    It is likely that someone bought this debt for pennies on the dollar and are now trying to collect, but they have no legal standing to collect such a debt!

    This is actually a legal question which should be posted in the LAW forum.
