Is there a time limit that an original creditor can look at your credit report? If Ohio's SOL is 15 years, can an original debtor look at your credit report within that time?


Hi jbjoan

Welcome to the forums. Statute of Limitation for debt in Ohio is:

Written or oral account: 6 years,

Written contract: 15 years,

Oral contract: 6 years

As per The Fair Credit Reporting Act, the creditors are more likely to apply every sort of action within the SOL period to recover the debt from you.

It will be a better option to clear your debt with the creditors because they report your accounts to the credit bureaus. Not paying towards your debt will cause negative markings in your credit ratings and you will have difficulties in acquiring new credit.
