Michigan Debt Collection Laws

Michigan’s debt collection practices act requires licensing and mirrors many FDCPA protections, with state enforcement against unlicensed or abusive collectors.

In Michigan, 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.
