Great article, many times consumers do not know how to tackle old debts, some of these collection agencies go as far as suing a consumer for a debt out of SOL and if consumer does nothing they end up getting a judgment. The worst thing a consumer can do is NOTHING. Thanks for helping so many people out there with your articles.
