How long does it take for a debt collection agency to collect a debt?

A debt collector can attempt to collect on a debt for as long as she wants. She cannot, however, bring legal action against you once the statute of limitations has expired. At this point, she may still attempt to contact you by phone and written correspondence, but that is legally the extent of the actions.


How long can debt collectors collect in Pennsylvania?

There is no limitation on how long a bill collector has to attempt to collect a debt. The statute of limitations on taking legal action is another matter. Even if your bill is old, and no longer shows on your credit report, a bill collector can still attempt to collect it from you. If it's over the statute of limitations, they would not be able to collect in court, but they are not prohibited from contacting you for payment. Refer to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for more information on the Federal law governing collection activity.

Is a personal loan taken out in 1989 legally owed if never paid?

In most places the statute of limitations ran out long ago, so a lawsuit to collect the debt is void. In Texas the statute of limitations is four years unless some legal action has been taken within four years to collect the debt.Warning. I just read an item on this. If a debt collector contacts you about this loan and you offer to pay it back the statute of limitations starts again. IF you pay one dollar to the collector he can keep after you to collect the debt . Some debt collectors make a business of buying old debt and it is pure profit for them.
