    Very old debt in BC
    My husband took out a loan from the Bank of Nova Scotia back in 1994 I believe... they still call and send letters. To the best of me knowledge he's never paid on this or if he has it was a long time ago.

    Can they still try to contact him or have SOL come and gone? Is there a letter I can send similar to this: We live in the USA and all I can find are American letters...

    This is not a refusal to pay, but a notice that your claim is disputed.

    Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and there is some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay this debt.

    Your legal staff will agree that compliance with this request is required under the laws of (State name) and Federal Statutes.

    In addition to the questionnaire below, please attach copies of:

    Agreement with your client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt,or proof of acquisition by purchase or assignment.

    Agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he or she agreed to pay the creditor.

    Please also be advised that this letter is not only a formal dispute, but a request that you cease and desist any and all collection activities.

    Your receipt of this letter will be considered as having granted consent to the taping of any and all telephone calls to me at my home or business by you or your agents or assigns

    I require compliance with the terms and conditions of this letter within 30 days. or a complete withdrawal, in writing, of any claim.

    In the event of noncompliance, I reserve the right to file charges and/or complaints with appropriate County, State & Federal authorities ,the BBB and State Bar associations for violations of the FDCPA, FCRA, and Federal and State statutes on fraudulent extortion .

    I also hereby reserve my right to take private civil action against you to recover damages.
    Sincerely,

    You have a common misconception about SOL. An SOL only defines the time limit the creditor has to take legal action to collect the debt. The obligation to pay or for them to dun him never expire.
