Oregon Debt Collection Laws

Oregon’s Unlawful Debt Collection Practices Act adds state penalties and private remedies that complement federal FDCPA protections.

In Oregon, 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.
