Missouri Debt Collection Laws

Missouri incorporates federal FDCPA standards and has additional statutes governing collection agencies, including registration and conduct expectations.

In Missouri, creditors have 10 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.
