Debt Collection Legalities Explained

Summary

To challenge a debt collector on the statute of limitations in South Carolina, gather written evidence of the last payment date, correspondence, and documentation showing the debt is time-barred. When a debt is transferred, the new servicer must adhere to the original terms and interest rates unless you agree to changes. Request the chain of custody to verify the debts ownership history and ensure the legitimacy of the transfer. If a debt collection agency buys your debt, they cannot alter the original contract terms without your consent. Always verify any transfer and review your loan details to protect your rights.
