They would need to bring charges against your sister. You should cooperate by providing them with any information you have that would help in their investigation, where they can find your sister and the circumstances that enabled her to use your parents credit card (her being the executor of their estates).

It depends how much debt , and how much disposable income (spending money) that you have. If you are able to make higher than the minimum payment, then do so. this will decrease the principle balance.

What does the term hold for collection mean when you deposit a check?

A check can only bounce twice before a bank will no longer accept it. As such, when collection agencies cash a check from a debtor and it bounces, they don't want to take the risk of trying to cash it and just hoping funds are available only to see it bounce again. If they did, then they would end up having to collect the delinquent funds all over again.

As such, they will often use this tactic of asking the bank to 'hold a check for collection', which means that the bank will keep the check on file for up to 30 days and check every day if there are funds available. As soon as funds become available they will immediately cash it.

What if a debt that's more than 7yrs was sold to a collection agency and they have started to call you?

The only way a debt older than seven years can be collected on is if that debt is covered under a judgment. In that case, the creditor has ten years from the last payment made to recover the debt. Keep in mind that the clock on limitations does not begin until the time of last payment. For instance, if you took out a car loan and made only the first payment on January 1, 2000, and the creditor was unable to recover the principle or repo the car and you made no other payments and no judgment was ordered, no further collection action could take place after January 2, 2007. If you made any other payments during that time, the clock begins from the time of that payment. If you are receiving calls from a third party agency, get their mailing address and the name of the account collector. Draft a letter explaining that the account is no longer valid per the "Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act" and that further contact by their agency will constitute unfair and illegal practices. Suggest that they refer back to their client for justification of the debt, and request that all reconcilations supporting the legality of the debt be forwarded to you within thrity days. Send the letter registered, restricted delivery, return receipt, and keep a copy for your records. If you attempt to do the above by telephone only, the agency is not legally obligated to follow. By letter, however, they have no option but to comply as requested.
