Collections agency typically are given a year or more to collect on any account before it is sent on to another agency by the creditor. Some creditors use individual agencies exclusively and do not continue to forward accounts. By federal law, activity to secure paymant against a debt may continue for seven years from the date of last payment. In the event the debt has not been paid in full, the creditor may seek judgment against the debtor. In this event, judgment extends the time to ten years from the date of the judgment. If the creditor is unable to satisfy the judgment in ten years, they may petition the court for an additional ten years. Effectively, debt collections activity, if planned right can extend for twenty-seven years.

Not that I know of, but try this. Send them money, anything that you can afford, even if its only five dollars a month. If they refuse payment, they nullify the bill. Just make sure you try to pay something on the bill per month. Even if you owe 50 thousand dollars, as long as you pay something, they cant send it to collections.
