Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
I own an s-corp small business and had a line of credit with a very large bank. When I lost about 1/2 my income, it was impossible to keep paying on it. The bank subsequently wrote it off; however, it's been a year and debt collectors have been assigned this loan. They seem extremely patient and are "more than willing to work with me to get this paid"; however, I am wondering if the bank wrote this off, do the debt collectors have any standing for recourse in collecting this written-off debt? i.e., suing me?

Yes they do. No doubt the debt was sold to them. As long as the Statute of Limitations has not run, they can sue.
