FAQ

In Illinois, the Statute of Limitations on debt ranges from 5 years to 10 years. Some debt collection agencies buy old debts, out the Statute of Limitation period for pennies on the dollar from the original creditor in order to collect what they can.

You'll get notices and possibly calls seeking payment. At some point, usually after 180 days, the creditor such as a credit card company, bank or medical provider gives up on trying to collect. The original creditor may then sell the debt to a collections agency to recoup losses.

The statute of limitations in Illinois is five years for open accounts for debt collections and oral contracts and ten years for written contracts. The good news is that the debts are time-barred and you can't be sued for them.

According to Georg Finder, an independent credit evaluator, a contractor can indeed send your account to a collection firm, even when you have voiced your concerns with his work. However, that doesn't mean you should give in and pay. You can and should defend yourself against bills for shoddy workmanship.

Reference the products or services that were purchased. Make it very clear what you did for your client and how much it costs. Maintain a friendly but firm tone. Remind the payee of their contract or agreement with you. Offer multiple ways the payee can take action. Add a personal touch. Give them a new deadline.

There is no statute of limitations on how long a creditor can attempt to collect an unpaid debt, but there is a deadline for when they can still use litigation to receive a court judgment against the debtor.Creditors can request methods of enforcing the court order, such as wage garnishment.

The amount the debtor owes you. The initial due date of the payment. A new due date for the payment, whether ASAP or longer. Instructions on how to pay the debt.
