A web user asks, The statute of limitations for collecting debts in my state is five years. Some collection agency claims to have bought up an old debt from the year 2002. The company claims that they sold the debt and washes their hands of it. I called the collection agency and told them of the five year collection limitation, but they continue calling five to six times a week on a dead debt. What recourse is available to me for this harrassment?

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
