<human>: Hello! 

Approximately 7 years ago I was camping at Rock Point Provincial Park. I wound up standing on a picnic table, falling through it, resulting in cutting my arm, and breaking a plank of wood on top of the picnic table.

Later in the night, we wound up burning the rotting, useless wood. Park Ranger rolls around just as the fire was dying down, questioning who broke the picnic table. I calmly explained to him te situation, and fined me $180ish dollars for Destruction of Crown Property.

The very next morning I went to speak to the Park Warden (Or the park manager equiv) and after hearing my story, assured me not to worry about it.

That was 7 years ago to the date, and suddenly I receive a letter from a collection agency telling me to pay or my credit will start being negatively affected. 

My question being, is there a statute of limitations on following through with these fines / tickets? 7 Years seems like a very strange timeframe for them to contact me to pay.

Cheers, thanks.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: 7 Years after being written a ticket, Park Rangers hire collection agency to ask for the money, after not being contacted within those 7 years. Is there a statute of limitations?
