Question

Back in 2004, My mom paid for a class for me at a local community college. It was NOT a student loan. I want to make that clear. My mom wrote a CHECK as we were paying out of pocket for school

The check bounced and $333 was posted to my student account as unpaid. The debt was since transferred to a collection agency that calls themselves a law firm. How long are they legally allowed to try to collect that debt? Is it still valid since it's from 2004?

Answer

statute of limitations has run..debts remain valid but the s o l are defenses to a claim
