Yep. They can say, you owe me! all they want. Your reply should always be, prove it.

If they cant, theyre usually out of luck.

Especially when it's been that long. Chances are they're not even the first collection agency.

Bill becomes due: $5000
Past due: Collections company buys it for $4500
Can't collect on it, wants something instead of nothing, so sells it to another company for $3000
Can't collect on it, wants something instead of nothing, so sells it to another company for $1900

Eventually they've paid very little for what you actually owed and somewhere in the process the paperwork proving you even owed anything at all gets lost.
