You are correct on the statute of limitiations. If it's simply a letter or invoice, you should not ignore it. Respond and tell them that you do not intend to pay and that the bill is no longer collectible due to the statute running. That doesn't mean you cannot be sued. anyone can file suit. If that happens, you should have a good defense due to the statute of limitations. Responding now and giving them notice that you'll defend on that basis will hopefully prevent suit from ever being filed.
