I had an old sprint debt from 2000. It was on my credit reports and it is already gone for a couple of years. A CA just called me and treatten that if I don't pay the debt plus interest they will report as a collection again.
Can they do that and can I protect myself?
Thanks in advance

No, the CA has probably purchased junk debts most of which are past SOL. You have to be careful while dealing with them. Don't make even the smallest payment, or else it will reset the SOL clock once again. Ask them not to call you anymore.
