It may be unacceptable, but it is legal: there is no legal requirement for prior notice of debt before suing, so long as the suit is brought within the "statute of limitations," or time period to sue. That does not mean they have to sue right away, but it does mean that they can look to collect on the debt anytime within those 4 years, and if necessary could sue for the money. In your state, the statute is 4 years for a case like this, so they are still in time to try to collect, even though you are certainly right that it would have been better had they brought this up and provided notice earlier.
