There isn't any law against a collections agency trying to collect, after the statute of limitations has run, but there's nothing they can do if you refuse, because the statute prevents a lawsuit on that old a debt.
There are some exceptions, in some states, but that would depend on other facts of your case that haven't been mentioned. For detailed advice on your rights in this, and how to protect them, you should talk to a lawyer in your area. One place to look for a qualified attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
