Is there a time frame that someone can come after you for a debt in uk law ? Thanks

Hi BB, If the debt is older than six years, and if you haven't had contact with a DCA or the OC within the six years, then the debt becomes statued barred. Alfama

Generally a debt never expires. And a creditor can dun you until its paid. But there is a Statute of Limitations that may limit the legal tools they can use to collect.

According to this site (Law relating to debts: statute-barred debts) its six years.

You may also find this site (Debt Factsheets - Liability for Debts and the Limitation Act)

And, finally, this site (Creditor Harassment In The United Kingdom (UK)) tells you what limits the creditor has for dunning you.
