The debt is a tax refund that was given to my two times from the state of LA.

There is a 7 yrs statute of limitations, but this doesnt stop them from trying. You can actually cause yourself more problems by talking to them, or worse yet- setting up a payment plan or sending them any money at all! It resets the 7 yr clock, so your fair game again. Hope this helps

DCS is generally used by the state and federal government for collections.
Is this for a student loan that was backed by state/fed funds?
Or for some other state or federal type of debt?
If the answer is yes, then it does not matter how old the debt is, they can try to collect it and even file a law suit for it.
If it is not a state, federal type of account or a judgment then you would be out of the collecting SOL.
Texas collecting SOL for both open and written is 4 years.

You got a double tax refund in error ? They can harass you until the day of your death for that money, as well as file lawsuit to reclaim it.
Statutes of limitations on debt collections expressly eliminate taxation departments from said statutes.
Pay up time.
