Question

Old Debt

What is the name of your state? Texas

CA calling and sending letter for old debt from 1989 saying it was purchased from other CA. And of course they want me to send them money, I don't even know who the company is that they listed in the letter. what is SOL in Texas?

Send them a cease and desist letter, certified RRR, telling them to not contact you again about the debt. The statute of limitations has long expired on this debt. Also state that under porovisions of Public Law 95-109, Section 805-C, THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT, they are not to contact you again or you will report them to your state's attorney general.

There are a lot of scum out there that buy lists of defaulted accounts and try to collect on them.
