If the SOL has expired there is nothing a creditor can do unless a lawsuit was filed before the SOL expired, which happens quite often. Simply because the SOL has expired does not mean the debtor will not be sued at some later date, most courts have a backlog of cases and the average time for a lawsuit to reach court is fifteen months from filing, usually longer. Even if the SOL has expired a creditor/collector may still attempt a lawsuit, it is up to the defendant/debtor to present the SOL defense, the court will not accept it as being an automatic dismissal of the case.

Can a collection agency still send you letters after a dispute has been investigated and deleted?
Yes. Deletion from the credit report does not affect whether the debt is owed or whether the statute of limitations on the debt has expired. Note that even if the statute of limitations has expired, collectors still can try to collect the debt -- they just cannot use the courts (or threat of legal action) to collect the debt. If you are getting collection calls on a debt that is past the statute of limitations, just send a written demand to the collector to cease all calls.

There is no limitation on how long a bill collector has to attempt to collect a debt. The statute of limitations on taking legal action is another matter. Even if your bill is old, and no longer shows on your credit report, a bill collector can still attempt to collect it from you. If it's over the statute of limitations, they would not be able to collect in court, but they are not prohibited from contacting you for payment. Refer to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for more information on the Federal law governing collection activity.
