You replied to me but quoted someone else. In any case, your link deals with state statutes of limitation. Don't confuse those with the permissible reporting period under the FCRA, which is 7-1/2 years from the commencement of the delinquency.
Statutes of limitation dictate how long a creditor has to sue you for the debt. They have nothing to do with credit reoprting.
Sorry, the initial post had to do with a call out of the blue from some debt collection agency for a debt that was 20 years old. These companies try to get you to acknowledge the debt TODAY, which starts the clock ticking again. It’s a bit of slight of hand in which you acknowledge NOT the debt from 20 years ago, but a current debt to the debt collection agency today.
These agencies don’t have a leg to stand on unless you formally acknowledge that you owe them the money.
