What happens to a debt after it is erased from you credit report?

Jess asked:


I was once a typical and stupid college freshman who was taken in by the credit card companies that were advertising all over campus. It got to a point where I had seven different credit cards that were all maxed out. I was able to eventually take care of some of them, but others I had either lost track of or just could not afford to pay at the time. Two of these past credit card debts are now over seven years old and are no longer on my credit report, but they have just recently sent me a collection notice. I cannot afford to pay these now, I just finished major repairs on a car that we ended up trading in and my mom cosigned a loan for a new car that I desperately needed. PLEASE HELP! Thank you so much.

I am only getting a credit card so that I can make small purchases and pay them off right away to build my credit. Please do not lecture me on how to use a credit card, I am already fully aware. I just want to know which credit cards have the lowest rates for an eighteen year old with no credit. Thanks in advance!
If you are just going to answer none’ don’t bother.
