FAQ
Unfortunately, debt collectors may still try to contact you about old debts that are time-barred by the statute of limitations. This is especially true for credit card debt.
You have the right to tell a debt collector to stop communicating with you. To stop communication, send a letter to the debt collector and keep a copy of the letter. The CFPB's Debt Collection Rule clarifying certain provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) became effective on November 30, 2021.
Collection agencies cannot report old debt as new. If a debt is sold or put into collections, that is legally considered a continuation of the original date. It may show up multiple times on your credit report with different open dates, but they must all retain the same delinquency date.
The debt collector can still send negative information to the credit-reporting agencies, sue you in court, and garnish your wages or file a lien against your property once a judgment is issued by the court.
In Georgia, you will not go to prison or be held criminally liable for owing money. This is true provided that the debt is not the result of some criminal scheme or owed as restitution for injuries or damages caused by a crime for which you are convicted.
Georgia law stipulates that written contracts have a statute of limitations of six years from when the debt became due and payable. On the other hand, oral breaches and open accounts have a statute of limitations of only four years from the date of default.
The easiest way to stop a collector from calling your family is to pay them. Otherwise, you can request that the debt collector stop contacting you regarding the debt. This must be done in writing by sending a cease and desist letter.
In Georgia, a creditor can garnish the lesser of 25% of your disposable income or the amount by which your disposable earnings exceed 30% of federal minimum wage. If your disposable income is less than 30 times minimum wage, it cannot be garnished at all.
In Georgia, the statute of limitations on credit card debt is generally six years. After six years of non-payment on the debt, it becomes time-barred, meaning a collector or creditor cannot sue you to collect the debt.
Time-barred debt can have a negative impact on your credit score if it's still listed on your credit report as past due and you choose not to make a payment. Even if your debt meets the statute of limitation requirements in your state, the credit reporting agencies won't remove the negative item for seven years.
