They can collect a past due debt through an agency as soon as it's past due. They cannot require you to have a lawyer and refusing to provide that information is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

How old is the debt? If it is over 4 years then it is too old.

This office successfully defends such cases, arranging payment plans with reduced principle, and even having the cases dismissed. You will not have to make payments on the debt for as long as a year from now. Contact me directly.
