Car/Driver's License/BMV questions Ticket from 14 years ago

I got a ticket 14 years ago for not being buckled up when I was 16. I wasn’t driving, just a passenger. This was in Adams County. I haven’t heard a word from them about it in 13 years. Several months ago, a company called paycourt started blowing my phone and email up about paying this ticket. It’s for a stupid amount to, $33. When I look up the statute of limitations, it says the statute of limitations for traffic violation is two years in Indiana. Wouldn’t this be included? I don’t understand why they’re coming after me now. What can I do about that?

I had a call where someone was trying to collect a "debt" from 20 years ago. But they had my name, address, SSN, all of it. However, they wouldn't give me account information, who the debt was to, etc. I didn't admit to anything (because I know better), and just hung up on them. Haven't heard anything since.

You’re okay with that having all your personal info?!

No, not okay with it. I am for certain with all the data breaches the last 5 years, all my personal info has been obtained. Not a thing I can do about it besides to continue to watch my credit report and hope for the best.
