It's uncertain to whom the question is being addressed but the answer given to the question is somewhat correct.

The only time a valid debt becomes invalid is when the lender/creditor "forgives" the debt. It is likely that the 7 years referred to concerns the time a defaulted debt remains upon the debtor's credit report. A credit report is in no way related to whether or not a debt is still collectible.

All U.S. states have SOL's relating to debts. SOL's determine the time limit which a creditor/lender has to file a civil suit against the debtor(s) for monies owed. However, the expiration of the SOL does not mean the debt is no longer valid and a creditor/collector can continue to pursue the matter by whatever means the laws of the debtor's state allows.
