Today I had a law firm from California (where I have lived most of my life) contact my parent's and leave a message on their voicemail that I was being sued for a debt incurred from 1987 to 1996 a Discover Card Master Card. I spoke with this attorney and he explained to me that this debt was not included in my bankruptcy of 1996 and that I owed over $3,000 in penalties, interest, etc. as well as the original bill of 2,200.00. I got off the phone with him, got online and checked the statute of limitations in California (where I no longer live) and it was 4 years, so in essence he is trying to collect on a debt that is no longer on my credit report, and should have been charged off.
What I need to know is this: Can they legally bring a judgement against me, even when the statute of limitations has expired? What will happen if they follow through with the judgement? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
