For written contracts, it's 10 years. Was it a revolving account or a note? Review of the paperwork would need to be done to see if the debt was validly assigned to the new creditor.
Call or write for assistance.

You should be aware that if they are indeed attempting collection on an invalid debt, the collection firm may be liable to YOU for violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
