EnuffsEnuff did not say that they are not allowed to try and collect on debt past the SOL. They just stated that this number is from Portfolio Recovery who is trying to collect on old debt past the SOL.
Please tell us where it says that debt past the SOL cannot be collected on. Do you live in Wisconsin or Mississippi, because other wise they can still legally attempt to collect the debt. What they cannot legally do is threaten to sue you. It is much, much better to actually know what the law says, and to use it against them than to guess.
