Statute of Limitations for Debt Collection

Statute of Limitations for Debt Collection

The statute of limitations is a legally established period during which a creditor (a company or a citizen) can demand debt repayment through a court. As a general rule, this period is three years (the general statute of limitations). Upon expiration of this period, the borrower has the right to object to the collection, and the court will dismiss the debt collection lawsuit. However, it is crucial to understand that the expiration of the statute of limitations alone does not automatically release the debtor from the debt — the obligation continues to exist; it is simply its compulsory enforcement that becomes difficult.
