AMO Recoveries out of Norcross, Ga sent me a letter saying that I needed to come clear on a $2583.84 debt from 1995. They say I didn't file taxes that year. I advised the agent that during that time I was going through hard times and wasn't sure if I filed or not. The letter stated that if I didn't notify them within 30 days, the debt would be assumed valid. I did however recover a W2 from that year and it showed I payed 560.00 into State taxes that year... what's going on. what can I do to get these people off my back.

1995?!!!

Lemme see, that would be... umm..... Twelve years old. Most states SOL is 5 or 6. Longest I've heard of is about 10. Looks like they might just be after you for an out-of-statute debt. Check this: http://www.cardreport.com/laws/statute-of-limitations.html[/url]

IF they are collecting for the government I don't think there is a SoL on unpaid taxes. My suggestion would send copies of proof that you took care of this and also send a validation letter so that they can send you what they have on it.

FYI is correct.Government debts do not have a defined sol. Tell them your want a validation of the debt by sending your dv letter certified return receipt. You will end up paying this one to make it go away.
