A new tactic that many of the "junk debt" buyers are using is to offer a "credit card" to help you pay off a debt that is either beyond the statute of limitations or not even your debt at all. What this does is effectively get the clock started again on the SOL, as you are actually "re-affirming" the debt. It started out apparently that just the Sherman people were doing that, but guess more and more of the bottom feeders are playing copycat. Make them validate that you owe anything..believe me, they can't.
