State Statutes Regarding Collection Practices for Commercial / Business Debt.
The Federal Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) governs the debt collection practices for personal / individual debt. The FDCPA sets forth a myriad of restrictions regarding the practices Debt Collections may use in their efforts.
There are no Federal Laws governing Commercial Debt collections. Most States, however, have enacted Statutes which govern Commercial / Business Debt collections.
We have provided the most current Commercial Collection Statutes by State. These represent State-specific statutes enacted that apply only to that State. It must be noted that the State statutes for the State where the collector is located do not apply if the debtor is in another State. In that case, the Statutes for the State where the debtor is located apply for further information about Statute of Limitations on Debt Collection.
NOTE: This is not legal advice. The information shown represents the Statutes in place at the time we published it —there may have been changes or additional Statutes enacted since. To ensure the most accurate information, we advise checking with an Attorney or the State where the debtor is located.
