A debt collector, the State of Michigan itself, sued my client a year too late, then tried to revive a dead debt to reset the clock. The judge said no.

In this breakdown I walk through a real win: a time barred student loan lawsuit that got dismissed under Michigan's six year statute of limitations, and how we beat the "revival" trick the State used to try to restart the clock with old bankruptcy paperwork. If you are being sued on an old debt, this is the playbook.

You will learn:
How the statute of limitations can be a complete defense, even against the government
Why the collector's own complaint can prove your case for you
What "zombie debt" and debt revival actually mean, and how collectors try to restart the clock
Why listing a debt in bankruptcy is NOT a promise to pay
How to avoid accidentally reviving your own old debt
How the judge reasoned her way to dismissal, in her own words
