conversation: User (dontyou123): "Will the old debt still show up?  Can I remove it?  I read the wikis as best I could.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.\n\nedit: You guys are fast to answer!  Thanks!\n\nEDIT:  I wanted to thank you all for your quick answers.  This has haunted me for over 20 years.  I would run my credit report once in a while and see it still listed.  I am going to take all of your advices.  THANKS!"
  Self: "Anything that old has long been charged off. The statue of limitations is likely up in every state unless it's tax, child support, or maybe student loans meaning it's unlikely any collection agency would be able to collect. \n\nCheck your credit report, if anything is still on there related to these debts file a dispute with the credit bureaus to get it removed.
