Virginia Debt Collection Laws

Virginia requires debt collector licensure and enforces FDCPA-consistent rules through state agencies, including consequences for unlicensed collection activity.

In Virginia, 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.
