The statute of limitations is generally 4 years (could be 2 years under some circumstances). However, there are a lot of exceptions to the general rule. For instance, when was the last time you made a payment on the debt? When the attorney contacts you, do you acknowledge that the debt is owed?

You should contact a local consumer law attorney for more specific advice.
