It is illegal what the creditor is doing. They cannot threaten you with check fraud. If the debt is 7 years old, it is past the statute of limitations and you do not owed the debt. If they call you again, tell them you want to record the conversation and also tell them the debt was paid and you don't owe them anything.

If they persist, contact a consumer law attorney in your area. Attorneys fees are included in the damages award you would be entitled to in the lawsuit.
