[Experiment 6-2-6]

Remember, the statute of limitations runs from the date of last payment made or the date of the “promise” to pay..

So, be aware of what you say to a bill collector..

I didn't promise to pay, I did ask, because the agent said because of the circumstances he could see what his supervisor could do; what the supervisor would do. The response was 50%. That made me ask what the "original bill was". He didn't know, didn't have the records. I said I'd have to see original copies of "GTE" bills. He said I'd have to request that in writing.

After reading through some things here, I'm not going to request anything except for them to cease and desist. And with the warning that any reports of a 15yo debt, obtained from other agencies, to the credit bureau's would probably (since it would be reasonable to assume it's already been reported there 15yo) violate the Fair Debt Collections Act, and if that occurred, all sorts of agencies would be called into play: FTC, State AG, Lawyers, etc.
