Re: collection on a phone bill
If they call again, tell them the statute has run and it's uncollectable. If they insist on calling you again, get their address and send them a certified letter with the same information. Then, if they continue to do so, contact an attorney about their violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
