Step-by-Step: Statute of Limitations on Debt: Complete State Guide

These steps apply directly to your situation as a Anchorage resident dealing with Credit Corp Solutions.

1

Understand what the SOL means

The statute of limitations is the legal deadline for a creditor or collector to file a lawsuit to collect a debt. After this period, the debt is 'time-barred' — they can still contact you, but they cannot win in court if you raise the SOL defense.

2

Find your state's SOL

SOL periods vary by state and debt type: credit card debt ranges from 3 years (MD, NC, NH) to 10 years (RI, WV). Written contracts (personal loans) range from 3 to 15 years (KY). Your state's SOL is listed on the DebtShield state page.

3

Calculate when your clock started

The SOL typically starts on the date of first delinquency — the first missed payment that led to the default. It's NOT the date the account was charged off or sent to collections. Get the exact date from your credit report.

4

Understand what resets the clock

In most states, the SOL can be reset by: making any payment on the debt, making a written promise to pay, entering a new payment agreement, or in some states, even verbally acknowledging the debt. Never pay or acknowledge time-barred debt.

5

Use the SOL defense properly

If you're sued on a time-barred debt, you MUST raise the SOL as an affirmative defense in your Answer. If you don't raise it, the court may award judgment anyway. File your Answer on time and explicitly plead the SOL defense.
