How long can a creditor collect an old debt?
The answer depends on the type of collection activity:
1. A creditor can file a lawsuit within the "statute of limitations" -- which here in FL, is generally ๐ฐ-๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ from the date of your last payment (unless a different state law applies in your cardholder agreement).
2. A creditor can report information to the credit reporting agencies for ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ from the date of your last payment.
3. A creditor can informally contact you by letters, calls, etc. to collect a debt ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ but, if applicable, must also inform you that the debt is outside the statute of limitations.
If you're receiving informal collection communications by letters, calls, etc., ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ the debt because that can re-start the statute of limitations.
