It varies from state to state, but generally its about 7 years from the last time the debt was active, but keep in mind if you make any payments on it, the time starts over.

Your bank account can be garnished if you have an unpaid bill that has remained unpaid for a long time.

Insurance claim number for breaking and entering at an office was issued after the police and insurance company were notified How long is that claim in effect they took the premium for years?

The question is unclear as to what information is being sought. The insurance claim should have been submitted and documented as soon as possible after the event (if there was any time limitation it should be mentioned in the contract). If the claim has gone unpaid for a lengthy time contact the company and ask the reason why and demand that it be placed in a written communication, preferably a letter through the mail.
