| If this 'property' was repo'd 11 years ago, then, unless there's a judgment filed against her then this bill died a long time ago. SOL on debts in TN is 6 years. If she is now being contacted by a collection agency, then she needs to send them a Cease and Desist letter telling them never to contact her again as the debt is time-barred. Here's link to a good expired SOL sample letter you can use. send it certified, RRR mail and keep copies of everything.

As for her ex, if the property was owned jointly, then they could go after him as well, but its still time-barred in most states.
