QUESTION

debt Collection

Asked on Jul 01st, 2016 on Collections - New York
More details to this question:
I have been contacted by a collection agency for dental work performed on my children. The date of service was 3/20/1993. I have claimed bankruptcy in 2008, and all debt I was aware of was included. My question is can this agency continue to demand payment on a "debt" that is over 20 years old?

No.  The statute of limitations has long expired on this claim.  Even if a judgment was entered it is expired.  Ignore it.
