My gosh, 1999? This debt has to be past the statute of limitations by now, depends on what sate you are in.

What does this mean I am confused? What exactly are you asking? I am sorry.

I guess the first thing that popped into my head was the fact that this debt is so old, 9 years old to be exact, so I was thinking that if it's past the statute of limitations it's an uncollectable debt. Just hang tight because I'm not possitive about this, I'm sure Mobile or nascardevil will be around tonight and they can offer you better advice than I can. :?
ok more info
i am in oklahoma the limits are 3 years open 5 the other one. It means i cant get into ANY legal trouble at all. Im really worried because i just agreed to pay them today and i can but it would be really hard to make it work. So does me telling them i was willing to pay restart the statue of liimitations or what? Should i just file for bankruptcy? or just call them back politely tell them that the statute of limitations has run out and they broke federal law threatening to sue me?

They didn't actually break the law just because the statute of limitations ran out, but you really need to make them validate this debt to make darn sure whoever it is attempting to collect on it has a right to do so. Have you received any correspondence from them at all? Such as a dunning letter? What is the name of this company, is it the original creditor or a collection agency?

They did violate the fdcpa if tehy threatened to sue on an out of statute debt but unless you recorded it would be hard to prove. Riddle is on Bud's worst list:

You'll have to do some research to verify but I beleive only a written acknowledgement and promise to pay would re-set SOL. Is this reporting on your CR's? If it went delinquent in 1999, you are past reporting period and SOL. The Dunning Letter would have been the very first communication with you. It would have the "mini-miranda" (you have 30 days to dispute....). If you can verify that this is beyond SOL and reporting period, I would send them a full cease comm FOAD letter.

Also, if you gave them your bank info, go in tomorrow and close that account. If you can't immediately close it, talk to the Branch Manager and have a hard debit block placed on your account and give them the info on Riddle.

Banking Info
I had to change my checking account number and put Stop Payments on my previous account to stop companies from taking money. Once the 'real' payments had come through I closed the first account. My bank was great and they worked with me. Remember you are the bank's customer, and they should be on your side, especially with an amount as large as this, and because this sounds like big-time fraud. The company might not have really had any information about a past debt, they could have just randomly called you and because it sounded like something that really happened you believed them. It's best to never give any account information over the phone, especially with a company you have never dealt with before. Good luck!
