Alabama Debt Collection Laws
Third-party debt collectors in Alabama must follow the federal FDCPA, and consumers can file complaints with the Alabama Attorney General when collectors use harassment or misrepresentation.
In Alabama, 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.
