Hi ajwc!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, the SOL period for written contracts in Louisiana is 10 years. If 10 years has already passed and you've not made any payments, then the collection agency cannot sue you. You'll have to contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
