This debt is almost is almost 8 - 9 years old. This company called me to say that they have tried to serve me twice and they will try one more time. If they can not serve the papers the third time, they will sue me and it be an automatic judgement against me for the amount plus court costs. They said this will allow them to garnish my wages, seize my assets, and pursue other methods to collect the money. 
I told them that on some of the communications they sent me it mentioned the the debt is to old so they can not sue me. However, the lady on the phone ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ext. XXXX ) said that does not apply to the entire debt, only the settlement offer and that they have no choice but to pursue legal action to garnish my wages and maybe seize my assets. 

They said the company name is XXXX XXXX XXXX based in California. 
Their phone # : XXXXMy case number with them is : XXXX. 

Thank you for your time.
