Write a letter asking a collector how old a debt is and when it was last active, without asserting any legal rule. Inputs I will provide: collector [COLLECTOR_NAME], reference [REFERENCE], dates I recall [MY_DATES], amount [AMOUNT]. Please have the letter ask for the date of the last payment and the date the account went into default, and note that I will check with an advice service about time limits that may apply in [JURISDICTION]. Facts and papers worth gathering: the date of my last payment, the date of the first missed payment, and the collector's stated dates. Remedies that are usually on the table: clear dates for the original default and last activity; I will check how time limits work in my area and not rely on this letter. Expect a response like: "Time limits do not apply." Answer by asking them to explain the basis, and do not make a payment before you understand the effect. For the statute of limitations question to a collector, interview me one at a time, starting with the facts still blank, and write nothing until I say go. Supply the letter plus a 60-word cover note, next the steps to take for silence or refusal (advice service, then written dispute if the debt appears time-barred under rules I confirm), plus an evidence checklist (payment history, old statements), plus one delivery tip. Mail it by certified or registered post with a signature on delivery, and store the receipt and a scan of the letter. This is drafting help, not legal advice, so flag any point that needs expert review. Draft the letter in my own voice as an ordinary person, not as any legal professional, and use no made-up titles or licence numbers. Do a completeness check on my inputs first and warn me about unsupported statements. State no legal rules or time limits yourself; stay within [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and remind me to check the exact law with a qualified professional or a local consumer agency. Write it direct, civil and clear, with no threats beyond lawful steps I name, and use only the deadline I set in [DEADLINE].
