Re: Education Debt
It depends upon your state law, but chances are that bill is no good. The statute of limitations begins to run at a certain point. But, you need to make sure of this with local counsel. A well-prepared letter of inquiry from a lawyer, may well solve the problem if the obligation is clearly unenforceable under your state's law.
