Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
Debt Collection
For how long can a person be dunned for a debt? This original debt is over 10 years old and is apparently picked up periodically by various collection agencies. I don't know if a judgment was ever filed. Original amount was approximately under $2,000.
