It is really scary what some debt collectors will do to collect money. Sometimes this debt can even be a fraud! What happens is that someone you owed a debt to will sell that debt to collection agencies for pennies on the dollar and the collection agency tries to collect it from you. They will use any tactic they can to get money out of you. There are statute of limitations for old debts, usually around seven years. Find out what that limitation is in your state. Also, your credit can no longer be ruined by these old debts. Learn what your rights are. One thing is for sure, don’t let them “restart” you debt by agreeing to pay them.
