You're right the SOL has run out. Just tell them to stick it. If they want to take you to court let them. Just show the judge that the SOL has run out and you will get judgment in your favor. That's even if the other side shows up. Which is doubtful.

You should consult with an attorney if you can. If the statute of limitations is truly expired, you should attend the court procedings and demand (ask nicely but firmly) that it be tossed out because of the statute of limitations - once the statute of limitations is expired, the creditor cannot obtain a judgement. Now, that said, be careful. Read everything that was sent to you - then read everything that was sent to you AGAIN. What you're looking for something as the last transaction date for the debt - sometimes the crooked collections agencies will fake the date so that the statute of limitations is NOT expired. READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY. Regardless of what the papers say, do not ignore it - go to the hearing!!! If you suspect that the transaction date has been faked by the collector you really should consult with an attorney before you attend the hearing. Good luck. Note: the last date of transaction should be THE LAST PAYMENT YOU MADE on the debt, but sometimes not-so-honest folks will fake it - BE CAREFUL!
