<prompt> Human: Please help me out. My GF is being contacted by an agency Summit Consumer Group about an alleged 11 yo Sprint Bill. They are threatening to take her to court unless she starts making payments on a 1500. Total amount. They are offering her a one time 250.00 payment to settle this account and this feels like a total scam to me. All the research I have done indicates that there is a 4 year statute of limitations on these matters. I know hiring an attorney to address this will cost me more than the 250 they are asking for.My GF is stressing to the max and I could really use some help here.Edit: thank you so very much for all the help and great advice.  <response>: Empty threat. Just trying to scare your gf. It is way past the point they can do anything about i. At this point it probably does not even show up on her credit report anymore.I would ignore it.
