Re: collect after 7 years

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") and Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ("FCCPA") protects debtors from unfair collection practices, including with respect to debts that have been paid off, discharged, or are no longer valid. Accordingly, you may wish to consult with an attorney to determine what defenses and/or remedies you may have.
