Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Ohio

Statute of Limitations

I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy 1/11/91 and the case was terminated 5/22/91. 8/8/02 I recieved a call from an acquisition company telling me that I must pay a debt from that time period on a credit card. They brought up the statute of limitations. I can't find any information on this. I have never recieved any communication from this creditor in the eleven years since the bankruptcy. If this creditor was missed, is there a statute of limitations on this debt?

Re: Statute of Limitations

Go back to your bankruptcy, and see if the debt was discharged in the paperwork. If not, the statute of limitations which applies here is that of a written contract, which is 15 years.
