Washington Debt Collection Laws
Washington’s Collection Agency Act requires licensing and adds state remedies on top of FDCPA protections, including standards for how agencies communicate with consumers.
In Washington, 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.
