My response:

We'd like to assist you; however, you apparently didn't see that red writing up at the top of the page. Without your State name, or the name of the State where the problem happened, it would be difficult to assist you. Laws are different everywhere.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to you editing your post.

According to my 'sources', NC has the following statutes of limitations (in years):
Open Acct.: 3
Sale of Goods: 4
Written Contract: 3

So, unless you did some action to 'restart' the Statute 'clock', the creditor has no basis for attempting to collect on this debt, since the clock stopped long ago.
