My debt is several years old. Can debt collectors still collect?
Yes. Debt does not expire or disappear until you pay it. If a debt is valid, you still owe it until you pay it off, no matter how much time passes. However, the law limits the amount of time during which a debt collector may take legal action to collect a debt. Statutes of limitation vary depending on the type of debt.
