old debt SOL

ok I have an old debt on my report. I know the debt was from 10 years ago but the last date of activity was May of 2002 The amount is $1900 and is actually a phone bill. My question is, and maybe I'm confused a bit, but if the state SOL is 3 years, do I have a right to ask this item to be removed. Also if the debt is actually 10 years old, do they( the CA) have a right to keep this debt open for as long as they wish? Meaning can they just resubmit the debt and bring the date of last activity current? If this debt is legit what would someone say would be the best course of action? Thanks for any help.

Ok the item is not removed by SOL but the FCRA limits of the 7 yr reporting period.  IF the debt IS actually 10 years old I would DV it and give them a short time to remove it.

Ok if you are absolutely sure that this debt is over ten years old, reminds me of a T-shirt I once saw a young lady wear.

   The B Switch Sticks. (Think of a B word that rhymes with Switch)      
 
Time to turn on the switch.  I would immediately send an intent to sue letter based on false CR reporting.  Not only to the collector but to the OC stating that the collector is acting as their agent.  I would not give a 30 dya window for response but 10 biz days after receipt of correspondance, of course all sent CMRRR.
