hawkfan Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I called a collection company left a message that I would pay them the full balance tomorrow, but I just found out that one of the bills $200 the Sol has passed on the 12th of this month. Date of service was 5/10/00 to 5/12/00. Can i just pay them the rest of the bill and tell them the SOL has passed for the other bill? Please tell me some good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They didn't even tell me the SOl has passed, creeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof5 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yes, you can tell them to pound sand on the SOL debt. Remember that they still have the right to put it on the CRAs as an unpaid collection and it will not be deleted until 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonAngel (aka EarthAngel) Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 They didn't even tell me the SOl has passed, creeps.Now why in the world would they do that? That would put them @ risk of not making $. Don't pay an expired SOL debt unless it benefits you. They had years to try to collect this debt & were unsuccessful @ it. If this is reporting on your CR, then negotiate a PFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadynRed Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 You don't have to cite ANY law, simply tell them that the SOL in your state has expired and you will not be paying that bill. If you feel you must cite law, then dig into your state statutes and find the relevent section on SOL.The SOL has NOTHING to do with the reporting period for negative tradelines. There is no crossover from state law (the SOL) and FEDERAL law - the FCRA - for stuff to be in your reports. You're stuck with the 7-1/2 year reporting period regardless of the SOL. The SOL is NOT a bar to collection or even a lawsuit. The SOL is an affirmative defense to use if you are sued that will usually get a lawsuit thrown out.
