Default Collection Agency After A 7 Year Old Debt
I was surprised to see a derogatory account appear on my credit report in 2007 for an unpaid $25 speeding ticket that I received over seven years ago.

Can a collection agency come after me for such an old debt?

I don't mind paying them, but I am afraid that it will only update the derogatory account and make it stick on my credit report until 2014!

Should I just ignore it and dispute the issue with the credit bureau? This issue is from so long ago.

Any advice would help. Thanks.
