I was in business in Coldwater, MI in the mid nineties and have not been in business for 16 years. Palisades Collection is coming after me for 3 grand and I do not know what this is for. I was told by my lawyer to ignore the calls because the Statue of Limitations is long past. I don't want to have them come after me and didn't keep documents of when I went into business. What can I do. Should I call the County of Branch and see when I went into business? I don;t know if I reported going out of business and if I had to. I don't want my credit ruined but didn't keep records that far back. What can I do to get them off my back. When I went out of business I owned nothing.
