Steps to take?
Date: Tue, 11/20/2012 - 17:56
Midland Credit Management recently left a message for me to call back. I know this is for a credit card debt from several years back and according to a credit check that was performed while applying for a job I was told that I had no credit history, nothing good nor bad listed.
Now according to what I understand the Statute of Limitations for my state regarding credit card debt is 6 years. Also since there's no listing of the debt on my credit history can I assume that it's been at least 7 years since the incident in question?
I've read stories where people have paid off debts but are still harrassed by debt collectors on the paid off debt. What steps should I take to insure that if I pay the debt off that this sort of thing won't happen. Also are there any adverse affects that this can have?

Why bother paying it? Midland is a junk debt buyer...simply send them a cease and desist letter, telling them the debt is out of SOL and is timed barred.

You are correct with your assumptions but The SoL clock starts from the last day of account activity so if it has been 6+ years since, you can just send Midland a C&D letter stating that the debt is time barred.
