“Dear Steve,
I have an old debt. It is more than six years old. The collection agency says that they can still collect since I have made a partial payment to them. There is nothing in writing between us. I live in Michigan and the statue of limitations is six years. Did the SOL clock start ticking again when I made the partial payment or not. I told them about the statue of limitations but they said it did not apply since I sent them in a payment and now they won’t stop calling me . Should I just tell them I will see them in court over this ? AM I right that that the I don’t have to continue to pay them because of the SOL.
Dave”
Dear Dave,
Sending a payment on an old debt can start the clock ticking from zero on an old debt. Basically you acknowledged that the debt was valid and collectible.
