Hawaii Debt Collection Laws

Hawaii’s debt collection statutes complement the FDCPA with licensing and conduct rules so consumers can challenge abusive tactics under both state and federal law.

In Hawaii, 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.
