North Dakota Statute of Limitations on Debt Collection

A statute of limitation is a law that is different for each state and this law establishes a set time limit from when a breach of contact happens to when a lawsuit can be filed to force the debt to be paid. In North Dakota:

  • Actions based on a contract, obligation or liability, express or implied: 6 years
    • A new written acknowledgement or promise of voluntary payment on a debt restarts the statute of limitations
  • Judgments: 10 years
