I wouldn't ignore it just yet. I would find out what type of contract a phone bill falls under. I'm not sure if it's an opened ended or a written contract. If it is a written contract they will have up to 2010 to try and legally collect. and if so I would just do the settlement. If it's an open ended contract, I would send a cease and desist letter and tell them it is beyond the statute of limitations.
