Florida Debt Collection Laws

Florida’s Consumer Collection Practices Act adds state-specific restrictions beyond the FDCPA, including limits on certain communications and threats by collectors.

In Florida, creditors have 5 years (written contracts) to file a lawsuit for unpaid debts under written contracts. After this period, the debt is considered "time-barred" and creditors lose the legal right to sue you, though they may still attempt to collect.

In addition to federal protections under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), residents may have additional state-level protections against abusive collection practices.
