I just recieved a voice mail from this company using my maiden name ( I have been married for 18 years) I can't imagine what it could be for and will call them back tomorrow unless you don't think I should, but if there is something from my past that long ago, am I required to pay it? I am in Pennsylvania and currently in bankruptcy..the one where we pay everyone 100 % of everything back so we don't lose our house and so money is tight.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! 18 years is a very long time. Wait

Hi!
Welcome to the forums!

18 years is a very long time. Wait for a few days. Let them call you back. You don't need to call them. If it is regarding a debt, then it is well past the Sol period. They can't sue you anymore.

It might be a collection agency that buys junk debts for pennies

It might be a collection agency that buys junk debts for pennies on the dollar, and then try collecting whatever they can. 18 years is a pretty long time and it's almost certainly beyond it's SOL.
In addition, they can't really do anything when you're under bankruptcy.

Simply would like to add one more thing for your knowledge. If a debt is already past it's SOL, then any payment that you make towards it will reset the SOL clock.
