Is there a limit to how long a creditor can try to collect a debt?
Yes and no. Every state has a statute of limitation on the legal ability to enforce a debt buy suit.Many states are 7 years, while some states are as little as 3 years.Creditors can bring suit anytime within that period. But, should they attempt to bring suit out of the statute of limitation, the key is always the fact that your defense (that you are beyond the statute of limitation) must be raised.Therefore, you could conceivably be sued after the statute runs out, and if you do not raise the statute as a defense, you could loose.The key to the defense is proving you did not acknowledge the debt since the clock started. One $10 payment or a promise to pay can start the clock over.That being said, once a debt always a debt. Therefore, a creditor can pursue collection activity forever and simply become annoying. Therefore, it is usually a good idea to settle your debt if possible.While they may not prevail in court after the statute runs out, they may still be a thorn in you side. So to that end, if you are dealing with a large debt and you get sued after the statute runs out, it may actually be in your favor to go to court and raise your statute defense, because if you win the case and the judge rules in your favor - case closed. It is unlikely the creditor will pursue further collection action - because they have no where to take it legally.AnswerDepending on your statute of limitations on the state that you signed your credit card loan in.

How a time barred debt can be claimed in cpc in India?
The question relates to a debt which is time barred and bar to recover time barred debt is created by the Limitation Act. The Limitation Act with regard to personal actions merely bars the remedy by suit, but does not extinguish the debt or demand. A debt does not cease to be a debt because its recovery is barred by the statute of limitation. Limitation extinguishes the remedy but, except in the case covered by Section 28, less not destroy the right. If, therefore, a creditor, whose debt becomes statute barred, has any means of realising and enforcing his claim by any method except by a suit, the Limitation Act does not prevent him from recovering his debt by such means. Concluding, it can be claimed by way of equitable set-ff but not by filing of suit.
