My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Ohio
I received a notice from a collection agency yesterday that is for a final utility bill from February 1997. This is the first notification I have had for this debt. I moved out of that town at the end of Feb. 1997 but always had a forwarding address with the local post office. Isn't the statute of limitations up for this collection? Also, if I do pay the bill, isn't it possible they could try to collect interest and penalties for the last 10 years? Thanks for your assistance.
