repossed car from 1992

A unpaid balance for a car that was reposesed during a divorce in 1992 has recently been brought to my attention. It was never reported to the creddit bureas because the first collector dropped the ball (the present attorney's words) and so has never showed up on my report. I am not disputing the repossesion but is there a statute of limitations on a debt like that?? Can i still be forced to pay it through a court order (judgement)?? Thanks in advance.
