How long can a landlord take before pursuing debt from a previous tenant in Colorado?

Devin asked:


I have just received a collection for $250 from a previous landlord of over 3 years prior. This landlord also kept my entire deposit at the time. According to the Colorado Statute of Limitations, can he come after me for this debt out of the blue 3 years later?

wwtpo asked:


The debt is no longer reported to the 3 credit agencys, but they are checking my report bi-monthly, and now they are trying to contact me by phone. The statute of limitations is way past, and the debt has been charged off by the original creditor. I want to pay it off, but I need a house asap, and my FICO score has improved enough to do so! If I talk to them will they start reporting it again, and what can I do if they do? I lost 2/3 of my income 81/2 years ago due to downsizing, and am just now recovering from it.
