10 year old community college parking tickets.. do i have to pay?
Can something that old affect my credit?
Answer:
Yeah, it should be a seven year statute. Have you checked to see if they show up on your credit report (s).
There are lots of scams out there now regarding old bills and trying to collect them.
You should have had a problem renewing your drivers' license if these were on your record. You could always go to DMV to find out.
Either way, $80.00 isn't much if you just want to get it over with, if you DO owe it, I would pay it.
i dont think after 10 years there is anything they can do
This happened to someone I knew with a phone company collections bill. After over ten years the company sold the recievable to a factoring company, a company that buys old debt and attempts to collect it. This showed up on his credit report but when he disputed the item and relayed that the original debt was over 9 years the collection was removed.
i would not pay that. if they are just now billing you it could be a scam. i would call the collage personally (not the nuber on the letter) and ask them what it is for and to send you a statement. if it was going to go to collections they sould have sent it like 91/2 years ago
If they have your Social Security number, it could affect your Credit Score.
Tell them y ou want proof of the infractions and they will probably dismiss the whole thing.
