I'm no lawyer, but I'm fairly sure that your BF is safe from being sued. There is a 2 year limit to collect on debts. As long as your BF does nothing within that 2 year period to have acknowledged the debt; the clock has since run out. This is why when you are behind hundreds or thousands on something like a credit card; they tell you to send whatever you can. (Like $10 or $20.) It resets the clock.
As for getting it off his credit bureau report; I don't see how he can without getting his brother into trouble. If the last activity on the item is from 2006; it should come off in 2013- 7 years later.
Also my inner Troutman would also like to remind you to be careful about what you say on a public forum.
