Can a collection agency sue you for old that? Back to top. Yes, so long as the debt is within the state statute limitations. In Michigan, the statute limitations for a contract is six years from the first date of its breach.

In most cases, the statute of limitations for a debt will have passed after 10 years. This means a debt collector may still attempt to pursue it (and you technically do still owe it), but they can't typically take legal action against you.

Does the 7-year period repeat? In short, no. The 7-year rule means that each negative remark remains on your report for 7 years (possibly more depending on the remark). However, after that period has ended, a remark will fall off of your report.
