You may be liable for a debt over 6 years old, depending on where you live. The debt statute of limitations (SOL) varies by state. Remember that the SOL starts on the date of the last activity on the account. This means if you make a partial payment on it, the SOL clock starts over! Get the SOL info for your state below-

How long does a business have before turning the debt over to a collections agency?

The sooner you turn an unpaid debt over to collections, the better the chance of recovery. I would not suggest any debt over 3 years old. If it is a credit reporting agency, the debt will remain on the debtors credit report 7 years from the dilinqent date.

Can a debt be collected after 17 years?

In the United States, the statute of limitations on collecting a debt varies by state but typically ranges from 3 to 10 years. After this period, the creditor may no longer legally sue you for the debt, but they can still attempt to collect it through other means like contacting you for payment. It's important to check your state's specific laws on debt collection for accurate information.

Wait the 7 years. This is why. When you pay on an old debt like that the file starts all over again and even though you paid it its still a bad debt it will not help your credit any.
