	How long after the loan date can they try and collect student loans in canada I am assuming two things before I respond one that you have a debt that is quite old and two that you live in Canada (The US has a completely different set of debt collection rules that I am not really up to date on). Also I must make it clear that I am not a lawyer and am therefore not offering you any legal advice just my understanding of collection agency rules as they currently exist in the Northwest Territories so with that out of the way I have good news and bad news for you on this: . First the good news, there is a statute of limitations on the collection of debt of either 2 or 6 years depending on the province or Territory that you live in. This means that a creditor has a limited amount of time to initiate legal action and can only report a delinquent account for a period of 6 years from the date of write off based upon when the debt occurred, your last payment to the creditor or your last written acknowledgement of the debt (which ever came last). Now the bad news, there is absolutely nothing (that I am aware of) to stop a collection agency calling you up 10, 15 or 20 years after a debt is written off and asking you to pay so long as they do not threaten to sue you or report you to the credit bureau. This is done mainly by agencies that buy a companies portfolio of aged debt (Canadian Tire is a prime example of this). As far as I know they pay only pennies on the dollar for the debt, so just about anything they collect is profit, also because they own it they are generally very aggressive about trying to collect it. There are things that you can do to make them stop but I`m afraid that I can only really give you any advice if you are living here in the Northwest Territories. If you can give me a little more detail on your situation I may be able to help you a little more.
