So, to answer your original question, a debt collection letter serves to: Inform debtors that they owe you money: This is the most straightforward reason and is a way to put, in writing, that the debt exists, an amount is owed, and that you would effectively like it to be paid by the due date.

Can a Debt Collector Collect After 10 Years? 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.

If you don't make a payment or acknowledge the debt within six years of receiving the default notice, the debt will become statute barred and the default notice will be removed from your credit report at the same time.
