When does the clock starts on debt collection statutes of limitations?

It begins on the date of the last activity of an account. Any action such as a partial payment or payment agreement by the debtor negates the time the SOL has been activated and the time status will begin over at the next DLA.
Please be advised, the SOL is not an automatic defense against a civil suit for debt owed. The debtor must present it as such with valid documentation to support his or her claim. In most US states the presiding judge can determine whether or not an SOL can be tolled to what extent and for what reasoning.

An investigation may run for years, and an indictment would not be filed until the investigation completes. The 'clock' on your right to a speedy trial does not begin until after you have been arrested. There are time limits, however, in which charges may be filed (statutes of limitations). These limits depend on the state in which they occurred and the nature of the offense (there is no statute of limitations on murder, however).
