We live in Pennsylvania.
My fiance signed up for a lifetime membership at Bally's Gym back in 1994. He stopped going to the gym shortly after. Then for some reason, he stopped getting bills for what he owed (probably because he used to move around a lot). Now, seven years after he signed up, he received a letter saying his debt was recently sent to a collector. He didn't know what it was at first - he'd forgotten all about the debt.
He called the collector, who said that they could work something out. He said that my fiance should send him $20 and the debt would be cut in half. Then they would discuss what the monthly payments would be.
I didn't think that that sounded quite right, and thought that the collector may be just trying to reopen the debt by getting my fiance to send him a small amount of money. Could this be correct?
I would like to know if he is he still responsible for paying the balance after all this time. What is the statute of limitation for this state?
Thanks.
