If a collections agent called me for an 8 year old bill that I don’t remember, what can I do?
They said they sent me something in the mail, but I never received it. Can I contact the company I supposedly owe debt to and ask them about it? The bill was from when I was living in another state. I moved back to my home state 8 years ago and made sure that all my mail was forwarded there. The company I owe money to has never tried to contact me or send me another bill since then.

The Statute of Limitation has long expired. You are no longer legally responsible for the purported bill.
