Is there any statute of limitations expiration date where you can finally be free of these old claims? The frustrating reality is that for the most persistent debt collectors and creditors, unless specifically prohibited by state law, the threat of legal action and collections can loom indefinitely, even years down the road from the debt\u2019s origination date. However, that persistent pursuit comes with some crucial time-related caveats about the extent of legal enforcement mechanisms at their disposal."}
