If I respond to a debt collection agency does this start the Statue of Limitations all over again?

I live in Texas and I am being hounded by a debt collection agency. I do own this debt, but I have not responded to their endless phone calls and text messages. I was told the minute I have any contact with the debt collector this will "Restart the Statute Of Limitations" and this just gives them more time to harass me or file suit.
I ‘m not sure but I think the Statute of Limitations for Credit Debt in the state of Texas is 3 years.

should my husband and i settle our debt or should we go through a debt consolidation?

We are about 00.00 in debt with alliance one and i think 0.00 in capitol one. We have a debt consolidation with Federated Financial. But I was thinking that maybe we should just settle with both of the debts ourselves because federated financial charges .00 a month and it will take us like 3 years to pay it off, if we go through them. What is the best choice?

Is it better to pay off student loans quickly?

I'm graduating this June and I'm going to have about 30,000 canadian in student loans. I want to pay off my loans as quickly as I can even if it means sharing a room with someone. I'm planning to take at least 50% of my pay check to go into loans. So maybe around 900 a month, which allows me to pay off my loans in about 3 years. I'm normally a saver anyway and I can live cheaply. I would have just enough money left over for rent and living expenses. My rent would only be about 400 dollars. Plus, I have savings right now that would work as my emergency fund. Do you guys think that it's a good idea and is it worth it financially? My thought is that it would save me on interest even though it would be hard for a few years, but I will be much better off in the long run. Any suggestions?
