It depends on if the debt has been charged-off. Typicall after a debt is charged-off the original creditor has a specific time period depending on the state in which the debtor reside to file suit to obtain a judgment in order to force the repayment of the debt. If the time period mentioned above elaspes without the creditor filing suit then typically the answer would be that the debt does not need to be repaid. However, if you made partial payments to the creditor after the charge-off date you have started the clock over on that time period and the creditor get another chance. The best thing to do is contact a bankruptcy attorney for all the detail concerning the specifics of you particular situation.
