Countrywide
Debt claim against employee 1 1/2 years after employee quit ripoff

I worked for Countrywide for about a year and left in August.in 2005 Countrywide decided to stop paying employees current and start paying them one week in arrears. They gave employees what they called a "Cutover Loan" which would cover the one week's salary the employee would be missing in their paycheck because of Countrywide's policy change. Subsequently, the employee would pay Countrywide back the "Cutover Loan" through paycheck deductions.

When I quit Countrywide in August I was sent a final paycheck that was suppose to cover the money I was owed for vacation I handn't taken and days I hadn't been paid for yet minus whatever amount I still owed on the "Cutover Loan."

Now, a year and a half later I just received a collection letter from Countrywide saying that I owe them $332.18 from the "Cutover Loan" from 2005. I doubt that I still have any paystubs that I could use to verify the accuracy of what they are saying. Is this legal for them to send me a final payoff check and then send me a letter a year and a half later saying that they are attempting to collect a debt I owe them?
