This map shows: How long can you be sued for a bad debt in America?
"Statute of limitations" refers to the amount of time that can pass after some sort of event before legal actions regarding that event can no longer be initiated. After the statue of limitations has expired that debt becomes a "time barred debt," meaning the lender's ability to sue you for collection has passed.
