Which states have the shortest credit card debt statutes of limitations?

Borrowers in the U.S. are grappling with nearly $1.3 trillion in credit card debt, exacerbated by high interest rates and economic challenges. The statute of limitations for creditors to sue over unpaid credit card debt varies by state, with Arkansas, Delaware, Mississippi, and North Carolina having the shortest at three years. While debts can still be pursued after this period, creditors cannot file lawsuits. Borrowers should be aware of their state’s laws regarding time-barred debt, as acknowledging old debts can reset the limitation period.
