    Collection agencies buy up old debts for pennies on the dollar and then try to scare people into paying, even years later.

    Fortunately, the statute of limitation on a lawsuit is 6 years in Indiana so you are free to tell the collector to pound sand if you don't want to pay it.

    See Indiana Code 34-11-2-7 and 34-11-2-9 at:

    How are they threatening you? Are they saying they are going to sue you if you don't pay?
