There is no limitation for how long a defaulted debt may be collected. If you owe and never pay, you still owe. State law does establish SOL for how long a consumer may be sued to recover a debt. In Connecticut, that length of time is 3 years for Oral Agreements and 6 years for Written Contracts, Promissory Notes and Open Accounts. A federal law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, establishes how long a delinquent account may be reflected on your credit report. In general this time period is 7 years, although there are exceptions. Expiration of the SOL time period is not a guarantee that you won't get sued for a debt. It would, however, give the defendant an absolute defense to such a time-barred lawsuit.
SOL's for Connecticut are...open accounts(credit cards) 6 years; written contract 6 years; verbal contract 3 years; domestic judgment 20/25 years; Small Claims judgment 10 years; foreign judgment 10/20 years. SOL's only apply to lawsuits and judgments awarded as a result. There are not time limits when a creditor/collector must halt collection attempt procedures.
