Statute of Limitations on Debt

Every state has what is called a Statute of Limitations regarding debt.

Depending upon which state you live in will determine what your state classifies your debt as. For example, some states consider credit cards to be open-ended accounts while others consider them to be written agreements. It is very important for you to check with your state code to see which applies to you in determining if any of your �old� debt has passed the statute of limitations.

Below you will find the Statute of Limitations by State for various types of debt. The figures below are given in years:
