In this week's episode of The Debt Hotline, you'll learn:

What statute of limitations means and why it varies by state and debt type
Why you MUST still respond to lawsuits, even if the statute has expired
How to check your state's statute of limitations using Solo's calculator
When selling debt to collectors does NOT restart the clock

Real caller stories with escalating drama:

Asia (Texas): 8-year-old $900 medical debt - statute expired but collectors still texting
Dennis (Ecuador): $450k judgment from 2015 business foreclosure now being enforced by debt buyers who garnished his retirement accounts while he's living abroad
Vanessa (Missouri): Teacher questioning whether Mazuma Credit Union misrepresented their relationship with Capital One after car repossession

Key legal insights:

How process servers work (and yes, they can dress as Amazon delivery drivers)
Why domesticating judgments across states creates enforcement opportunities
When settlement agreements might limit your ability to pursue counterclaims
Asset protection strategies for retirement accounts and IRAs

The bottom line:
Old debt doesn’t just vanish, and the statute of limitations is simply a legal defense that still requires you to take action. Even expired debts can be collected through continued contact until you send a cease and desist letter. More importantly, ignoring valid debts can lead to judgments that can follow you for decades.
