When someone tries to collect money from you on an old debt, you should always get an opinion from a criminal attorney prior to making arrangements to pay. The debt may be old enough that the debt collector is precluded by law from suing you for the money. However, if you make a payment, you could give the collector the opportunity to file a suit against you. Please speak to a attorney prior to making any decisions.
