: Get rid of the collection agency first. Send them packing and then worry about the statute of limitations.
: That's easy to do and also get the bad reports off of your credit bureau files. That's not hard to do either.
: The collection agency isn't going to do one single solitary thing but cause you a lot of grief. So get rid of them and then worry about the rest.
