Time limits for collection efforts are set by the contractual agreement which established the debt, the governing state's laws, the contract between the original creditor (OC) and the collection agency (CA).
There is a different time period for how long this debt may show on a consumer's credit report. The time limit is set by the federal, Fair Credit Reporting Act.
There is yet another time limit during which a consumer may be sued over a bad debt. This time frame, the statute of limitations (SOL) is set by state law as well.
So, the answer will vary depending on which state's laws govern the contracts involved in this debt.
