Preguntas Frecuentes

What happens to unpaid debt after 7 years?

It drops off your credit report automatically per FCRA, boosting your score potential, but the debt remains owed and collectible if within SOL.

Can debt collectors sue on old debt?

Only if within your state's SOL (usually 3-10 years). After, it's time-barred—no suits, but they can ask for payment.

Does making a payment on old debt restart the clock?

Yes, in most states—it resets SOL, reviving lawsuit rights. Get legal advice first.

How long do collections stay on my credit report?

7 years from first delinquency, not collections date. Automatic removal.

What happens if I ignore debt collectors?

Expect calls, letters, possible lawsuits (if in SOL), and ballooning fees. Negotiate instead for better outcomes.

Is there a difference for medical or student debt?

Medical: Newer rules delay reporting (1 year, $500+ threshold). Students: No 7-year limit—stays until paid. [Download Credit Booster AI](https://creditbooster.ai/download) — free on iOS and Android. Start disputing errors today. *(Word count: 1028)*
