Becca, The SOL in OH is 15 years. They can sue and get the full amount, plus costs. They would have no reason to take a deal. Now, for the OP, it makes no difference if the item is still on your credit report or not. The SOL for bad credit reporting is NOT the same as the SOL for collections. You screwed up by making a payment, and by doing so, you affirmed the debt. NEVER pay a third party debt collector. NEVER even speak to a third party debt collector! ALWAYS demand validation as per the FDCPA rules. Most of the time they cannot validate, so at that point all collections activities must cease until it is provided. That is how it works in the real world.
