Accounts uncollectible are receivables, loans, or other debts that have virtually no chance of being paid. An account may become uncollectible for many reasons, including the debtor's bankruptcy, an inability to find the debtor, fraud on the part of the debtor, or lack of proper documentation to prove that debt exists.
Massachusetts laws "The statute of limitations for consumer-related debt is six years. This period applies to credit card debt and oral and written contracts. However, if the debt collector has obtained a judgment against the debtor, the statute of limitations extends to 20 years."
For most debts, the time limit is 6 years since you last wrote to them or made a payment. The time limit is longer for mortgage debts. If your home is repossessed and you still owe money on your mortgage, the time limit is 6 years for the interest on the mortgage and 12 years on the main amount.
In most cases, the statute of limitations for a debt will have passed after 10 years. This means a debt collector may still attempt to pursue it (and you technically do still owe it), but they can't typically take legal action against you.

Unpaid credit card debt is not forgiven after 7 years, however. You could still be sued for unpaid credit card debt after 7 years, and you may or may not be able to use the age of the debt as a winning defense, depending on the state's statute of limitations. In most states, it's between 3 and 10 years.
If you have experienced debt collection outreach that you feel violates your rights under the FDCPA, you can report the debt collector. Contact the FTC, your state attorney general's office or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to file your claim.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, debts can appear on your credit report generally for seven years and in a few cases, longer than that. Under state laws, if you are sued about a debt, and the debt is too old, you may have a defense to the lawsuit.
The debt will likely be sent to a debt collector or collection agency. Depending on which type of debt you're defaulting on, you could have your property repossessed; which is what is likely to happen if you default on a car loan or other secured debt.
