No not unless you are relying upon a contractual right in the underlying agreement. There are a lot of other issues you can look into though. Did you make any payments or promise to pay in the last six years? If you haven't then that could be a statute of limitations issue but that must be raised immediately within 21 days of being handed the complaint and done so as an affirmative defense. There are a lot of other issues to explore and it will depend upon the attitude of the judge in the underlying case.
