Avery S asked:


I had some medical bills from 4/10/01 that I didnt not pay in full. I was harassed for awhile by collections and then left alone. This debt was never reported on my credit record and has never showed up. Today on 2/14/2007 (6 years later) I receive a letter from a collections agency telling me to pay up or be reported to the credit agency. I am afraid to call because I heard making contact with them could cause the statutes of limitation to start up again. My question is, If I ignore them, can they really report this to the credit bureaus since the debt was from 6 years ago? Is this just a scare tactic at this point- keep in mind I havent heard from them in 5 years until now all of the sudden.
I live in Texas btw
