Georgia Debt Collection Laws

Georgia incorporates federal FDCPA standards for third-party collectors and separately regulates debt buyers and collection agencies operating in the state.

In Georgia, creditors have 6 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.
