I had a mobile home repo’d in 2001. I was never contacted by the company for the difference after the sale at auction. So I never worried about it. I’ve since found out the dept was sold to a collection agency after the auction. Again, no attempts to collect for 5 years. Now I get a letter saying pay in full or legal action will be taken. How does the statue of limitations work with this? Does the statue start at the time of the default on the loan, or at the time of the sale of the dept to the new company? The original creditor is not reporting to the credit bureaus, but the collection agency is? I live in Illinois, and the statue is different for contracts vs. collections? Does the signed contract for the mobile home purchase still stand, even though it’s with an entirely differnt company now?
