Time-barred debt
Time-barred debt is a term that describes a particular type of old, unpaid debt. Every state has a statute of limitations that limits how long a creditor can get a court judgment forcing payment. For credit card debt, states' statutes set limits of three to 10 years. Debt older than that is "time-barred debt."
