Re: 15 year old debit they are trying to sue

I can not understand what you have said. Court judgments can be collected (enforced) for at least 20 years from entry of judgment.

I think you should speak to an attorney.

If you would like, give me a call to set up an appointment; I am in northern New Jersey. The consultation may be free, speak to me and I will let you know ahead of time. I will do what I can to help you out.
