Understanding Alaska Debt Collection Laws
Statute of Limitations in Alaska
In Alaska, creditors must act within specific timeframes to enforce a debt through legal action. The statute of limitations for different types of debt includes:
- Written Contracts: 6 years
- Oral Contracts: 6 years
- Open Accounts (e.g., credit cards): 3 years
- Promissory Notes: 6 years
- Judgments: 10 years (renewable for another 10 years)
Once the statute expires, collection efforts may continue, but legal enforcement becomes invalid. MSB ensures timely and lawful collections within these parameters.
Compliance with FDCPA and Alaska Requirements
Although Alaska does not have its own collection-specific licensing law, all agencies must comply with the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This law restricts unfair practices such as harassment, misrepresentation, and disclosure of private information.
Additionally, debt collection agencies operating in Alaska must register with the state and pay applicable business licensing fees. MSB is fully registered and compliant, protecting clients from legal exposure.
