why? Especially in California where it has been ruled it is not improper to sue a person whose debt is beyond the sol, a creditor can sue and obtain a judgment if the debtor fails to respond appropriately.
the debt can be reported for 7+ years on your credit report whether it has been paid or not.My questiosn is, can they legally make these reportings with no contact, no new contract, or any communication until last month?
If you believe the amount sought is improper or the collection agency has no right to report the debt as they have, you can dispute that with the credit reporting agency that is reporting the debt.
