17 year old debt comes haunting

[ajujot]

Long story short! I got a call from a debt collector saying that I owe $4K for a default back in 2006 due to bad decisions I made. 

 

Caught me off guard, last month i got a call from a debt collector enquiring about the debt I owe. I inadvertently told me that i had an identity theft and resolved it with bank , but got to know I was wrong (I had a similar named credit card from a credit union and had a identity theft a few year ago and i thought the call was from them trying to resolve.) 

 

The lady said they have a judgement against me in PA and when i searched the courts public record, indeed there is an open judgement since 2007. 

 

Any suggestions for me?
