Maybe. If they waited that long then the SOL may have run. You need to have someone check the docket to see if they reinstated the complaint more than once.

Contact my office and I would be glad to do a check for you. I can also take a look at the lawsuit and determine how many other defenses you may have. Collection Agencies are relatively easy to beat in PA.
