No, the debt is valid and collectible. The SOL does not apply to when the debtor receives notice but rather to the date of the filing. That being the case, the suit can be filed an hour before the SOL expires and still be valid. The good news is, the defendant might be able to use the delay in collection action to his or her advantage if (a big 'if') the collector has not previously contacted the defendant debtor.
What else can I help you with?
Live in Texas you will receive a summons in a few days but its been 8 years how do you respond?
I assume you mean "it's been 8 years from the time the dispute occurred." If so, the statute of limitations likely bars the lawsuit. A local attorney can tell you the statute of limitations for the case. If the statute of limitations has expired for the case, it is a good idea to have the attorney draft an answer form to the complaint including an affirmative defense of statute of limitations expiration. If you do not have an attorney draft an answer, be sure to add statute of limitations expiration as an affirmative defense in your answer to the summons and complaint.

What is the statute of limitations on speeding tickets in West Virginia?
Any Statute of Limitations only applies to crimes you HAVEN"T been caught for. The intent of the principle is that some erasure of past bad behavior is best forgiven and forgotten, since witnesses have died and memories have faded. Furthermore the offender has grown up a bit. Crimes you HAVE been caught for are FOREVER, although the court may take pity on you if you turn yourself in, and plead youthful intemperance, or somesuch. But--Heh! Courts lose documents too. Perhaps you should have a "friend" check on it. Not exactly an accurate answer. One a speeding "ticket" is issued the sppeding driver has a number of days (depending upon the county where the ticket was issued) to respond to the ticket byeither pleading guilty, no contest or not guilty. If the driver pleads "not guilty" the issuing officer must then fill out a criminal complaint seeting forth the facts giving rise to the issuance of the speeding ticket, the driver will be issued a summons and the matter resolved before a Magistrate. The issuance of the criminal complaint and summons is governed by the misdemeanor statute of limitations - which is one year from the date of the offense. If the person fails to respond to the ticket - that is just ignores it, the officer still must obtain the complaint and summons within one year of the offense. However, don't just ignore those speeding tickets, because if you fail to respond to the ticket by entering a plea of guilty, no contest or not guilty, the West Virginia DMV will administratively suspend your West Virginia driving privleges for your failure to respond.

Is a debt past SOL and removed from your credit report considered legally satisfied?
No, the expiration of the SOL designates the time in which the creditor has to file a lawsuit. This does not mean a creditor will not pursue litigation, as an SOL is not an "automatic" defense in creditor vs. debtor suits. If a debtor is sued after the expiration the debtor must bring forth proof that the debt is invalid, the court will not do this for him or her. Often people receive a summons for what they believe is an invalid lawsuit because the SOL has expired, this is not necessarily true. A creditor may file a suit one day before the SOL expires and it will be seen as valid litigation. In addition, a debt is always valid until it is paid, settled in a lawsuit or discharged in bankruptcy.
