The Fact About Michigan Debt Collection Laws and the Statute of Limitation. ing to Michigan law, your creditor has up to 6 years (from the date of your last payment) to collect on a debt, including obtaining a judgment on the debt.
Collect Before the Judgment Expires The clock on the expiration date is stopped while the judgment debtor is paying a judgment in installments. A judgment from a Small Claims case expires six years after it is issued. Most other judgments in Michigan expire 10 years after they are issued.

Michigan law offers creditors another advantage in that there are no limits to the number of times a judgment can be renewed. That is not necessarily the case with other states. In a few states, judgments can only be renewed a certain number of times before they automatically expire. Not so in Michigan.
