   That said, the Statute of Limitations does expire in three years, but that is a general rule. The 3yr limit can be extended (tolled) if you make any payment or acknowledgement of debt. When was the last time you, or anyone representing you, spoke with the payday lender/collector?

If I received a call, my gut reaction would be to tell you to ignore it, but you would have to talk to a local attorney to get a more precise answer relating to your situation.
