In KY, the debt statute of limitations (SOL) has provisions for signed contracts and non-signed ones. If you signed that you would pay, the SOL is 4 yrs. If you did not sign, it is 5 years. If they sue you and win a judgment, the SOL for collecting is 15 yrs.

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.
