Re: statute of limitations
Be sure to bring up the statute of limitations argument. Once you do that, it is generally their burden to prove that they are within the statute of limitations. Keep in mind that if you made a payment on the debt it resets the point from which the statute of limitations begins to run. Depending on the facts of your case there maybe other options. If you would like to discuss further please contact me.
