Kentucky Debt Collection Laws

Kentucky aligns with the federal FDCPA for third-party collectors, and consumers can report abusive practices to the Attorney General’s consumer protection team.

In Kentucky, creditors have 15 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.
