You need to call or visit your local district attorney's office to determine what the rules are in your jurisdiction. You should be prepared to calmly discuss the facts and you should bring copies of any evidence you have that will convince that office to act on your complaint. You will also need the correct name and address of the person you wish to file charges against.

Criminal charges do not disappear due to the age of the person committing them. It may be past the statute of limitations, in which case the charges cannot be brought.
The District AttorneyÕs office can press charges against a person if they have enough evidence of a crime. A person can press charges against a person if they have been violated in a legal sense.
You can contract a collection agency to recover it, or you can take it to the prosecutor's office and file criminal charges against the person who wrote it. Your best bet it to take it to collections. If criminal charges are brought, it is not likely you will recover anything. Prison does not pay much.
