They cannot. Please double check on the State Statute of Limitation. In some states it is applicable from the date the debt is purchased. So, please check that. If you are sure, ask the collector to validate the debt.

How do you sell a judgment?
You can contact a 3rd party company. They will then either purchase the judgment from you, paying you a percentage of the amount owed on the judgment and they then become the owner of the judgment. OR you can contact a collection agency and they will attempt to collect on the judgment and will take a percentage of what they collect, IF they collect anything. Most collection agencies seem to take months upon months before they collect anything and sometimes even tell you "Sorry, we couldn't collect for you." A good way to get an idea of the process is to go to Google, type "judgment buyer" in the search field. You will get alot of companies. Read through the websites carefully and find out their procedures. I just used floridajudgmentbuyer.com and had no problem at all. But, that's just my experience. Good Luck!

What if I do not pay the collection agency?
There are several potential scenarios: If you simply refuse to acknowledge the colelction agency, they may simply return the debt to the creditor as unrecoverable. Not so likely. If you do not acknowledge the collection agencies efforts, and they confirm your location, they may recommend the creditor seek legal judgment against you, and proceed to recover the debt without your consent. More likely. If you acknowledge the collection agency and tell them over the telephone not to contact you further, they may return the account to the creditor as unrecoverable. Not so likely. If you acknowledge the collection agency, and request they not contact you further, the agency may take that as a refusal to pay, and recommend to the creditor to file suit. Upon successful receipt of judgment, they will recover the debt without your consent. More likely. If you write to the collection agency that they not contact you further, suggesting in your correspondence that the debt is invalid, the collection agency may return it to the creditor as unrecoverable. Not very likely. If you write to the collection agency to no longer contact you, for any reason or no reason at all, the collection agency will contact the creditor to confirm the debt, and recommend upon confirmation to seek legal action, obtain a judgment, and take your assets. Most likely. Keep in mind that you are not obligated to pay the collection agency by any law in any state. You are however obligated to pay the original creditor.

What is the statute of limitations of charge off auto loans in Virginia?
If you defaulted on a car loan, most states have a statutes of limitation of 10 years. Even though the lender may have "charged off" the debt, the debt could and probably has been sold o a collection agency. You can protect yourself from the Collection Agency from harassing you by sending them , by registered , a letter requesting Validation Of The DEbt. The Collection Company has to stop calling you and the must provide proof of the original loan and a signed copy of the contract, a license showing that they CAN collect the debt, and proof that they, indeed , have purchased the loan from the original creditor and the necessary paperwork to prove it. Most collection companies cannot obtain that information so is that is the case, you can contact the credit bureau that has it listed as a bad debt and showing the proof that you did contact the collection agency and received no response, the have to remove it from your credit report. If , in fact the collection agency DID report this questionable loan as delinquent without any of the above proof, you can sue them for defamation of character.
