    Default Can A Debt Still Be Collected On After It Is Written Off

    I am in South Carolina, however the debt in question took place in North Carolina.
    Midland Credit Management is on my credit report stating that I owe them $1300. However, they are collecting this for Verizon, which has written off the debt, as it has been almost 7 years since (I was 17 or 18 at the time). Also, they are listing the original date as the date MCM purchased the account, not the date that I purchased the phones.
    My question is, if Verizon lists the account's status as a write-off, can MCM legally collect on the account?

    so a company can collect on a bill if they have written off off as a loss? I was always told they could not because its a claim on there taxes as a lose and they could not collect on it after they take it as a write off
