Hello. I hope someone can help me. I have received a couple of phone calls at my mother's in the past 2 years and now a letter from Nordon about an old student debt requesting payment. However, I took out a loan in 1989, went to school for one year, left for England where another credit agency (Creditel) tracked me down and I paid off my debt in 1994!! So, 17 years after I took out the loan and 13 years after I paid it off I'm being contacted to pay it again. I only moved back to Canada in the summer and have been able to get credit easily so it's nowhere on my credit record. Why now after all these years and after I've paid it off? My big problem is that it has been 13 years and I have moved country 3 times and no longer have the receipts (stupid I know but it has been 13 years!). Any ideas on why they might be contacting me now - has something changed recently? Any ideas on my rights? I wanted to do some research before contacting them.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
