What is the name of your state? Fl but this happened in Ga..
I opened up the mail box yesterday and found an envelope with my hubby's name on it. Curiousity got me so I opened it. It turned out to be a bill from a collection agentcy. So, I went in and called them. They told me this was an old cable bill dated back in late 1995 and early 1996. I laughed and told the lady that it took this long to find him. 10 yrs later. It's not like he went into hiding or something.
Anyways, she said they would be willing to accept half of the bill and would I like to pay that over the phone at no charge to me. I told her no, I wasn't paying anything, that my husband would contact them and make arrangements for payment.
What I would like to know is**************.....
Is there any type of statue of limitations on things like this?
and
If hubby decided not to pay it, what could this agentcy do? besides harrassment.....
I have never left my ends open, nor have I ever been sent to collections. But come on, 10 yrs later and it never showed up on the credit history either...
