File a dispute based on inaccurate date. )If you can find old letters or statements to back up that you can upload them and your odds of winning will be much higher). Some shady debt collectors engage in redating of old debts to pressure people to pay them. Some even file lawsuits past the SOL and just hope the debtor doesn't show up so they get a default judgment despite being past the SOL.

Will filing a dispute reset any statue of limitations type thing and open me up to being sued again? I assume not, but I've read you have to be careful about how you interact with old debts.

Working on finding any old documentation. It's tough because the bank I used to pay this card doesn't even exist anymore, and I don't think I have any hard copies. I was young and dumb when I did this.
