Hi broncoangel
Welcome to the forums. It seems that your debt is past the Statute of Limitation period. The collection agency can contact you for recovering this debt but you can inform them that it is past the SOL period and thus, you can't be legally forced to pay it.
However, as this debt seems to be past the reporting time in your credit report also, please pull your latest credit report from the three bureaus and see the latest status of it. I hope that this debt should not appear in your credit file.

But, can they take money out of my Soc Sec.without notifing me they have taken this money,waiting for two weeks after the money was taken out,to notify me.

If it’s an unauthorized debit, then you should get a refund. But if the school has authorized them to withdraw money from this account, you will have to write them back and give a different account number.
Also, the collection agencies will keep contacting you until the debt is paid off. Since it has already been charged, you might not have any other choice.
You should contact Fl. dept. of Education and inform them about this situation. If you get a written note from them in your favor, you won't have to pay it.
Old Debt on credit report
What do you do if an old debt that has passed the SOL suddenly appears on your credit report and then an new agency (that is really the old one under a new name) is trying to collect. It had already fallen of my report and now it is back

If it has been longer than 7.5 since the Date of First Default on the account, send them an Intent to Sue letter and tell them delete w/in 15 days or you will file for $2500 per report.
