Understanding Rhode Island’s Debt Collection Laws

Navigating Rhode Island’s debt collection laws requires expertise in both state and federal regulations. As your trusted collection partner, we ensure compliance while maximizing the success of debt recovery efforts.

Statute of Limitations on Debt Collection in Rhode Island

Rhode Island law sets clear deadlines for creditors to take legal action on unpaid debts. The following statutes of limitations apply to commercial debt collection:

  • Written Contracts – 10 years
  • Oral Agreements – 10 years
  • Promissory Notes – 6 years
  • Open Accounts (e.g., business credit lines, invoices) – 4 years

Once the statute of limitations expires, creditors lose the right to file a lawsuit to recover a debt. Acting promptly ensures that businesses maintain the ability to collect outstanding balances and protect their financial interests.

Rhode Island Debt Collection Laws & Regulations

While Rhode Island follows federal debt collection regulations, it also enforces state-specific laws that affect commercial collections.

  • No Special Licensing Required – Rhode Island does not require debt collection agencies to obtain a state license, but compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is mandatory.
  • Pre-Judgment Remedies – Creditors in Rhode Island may seek pre-judgment remedies, such as writs of attachment, to secure assets before obtaining a final court ruling.
  • Post-Judgment Enforcement – A Rhode Island judgment remains enforceable for 20 years, allowing creditors to collect through liens, wage garnishments, and bank levies.
  • Interest on Outstanding Debt – Rhode Island allows creditors to charge interest on overdue commercial debts if outlined in a contract. When no contractual interest rate applies, the legal default rate is determined by state statute.

How Rhode Island Debt Collection Laws Differ from Other States

Rhode Island’s commercial debt collection laws offer extended enforcement periods for creditors. With a 10-year statute of limitations on written contracts and a 20-year enforceability period for judgments, businesses have ample time to pursue unpaid debts. Additionally, Rhode Island allows creditors to collect reasonable attorney fees in certain cases, providing additional legal leverage when pursuing overdue accounts. Understanding these laws helps businesses navigate the debt recovery process while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations.
