Today I received a few emails that the amount of debt I have for an old Medical Bill decreased by $141 and I did not make a payment. It is close to the end of the Statute of Limitations and I fear the debt collector is trying to extend the amount of time this gets reported on. I am concerned over this as I have not made payments on this debt or even spoken to someone from the collection agency in many years at this stage. What steps should I take for this type of action on the part of the debt collector? This is an old debt that has not had any changes made to the account until more than 6 years has passed since it first came active. I know they can say I made a payment and try to extend the time they can attempt to collect on it, or that it remains effecting my credit score.
