How long can debt collectors garnish your wages for?: If debt collectors have been calling you or sending letters about old debts you owe, it can be tempting to just ignore them, especially if you don't have the money to pay. After all, most types of overdue debt will eventually fall off your credit report after the statute of limitations ends, so if you can't afford to pay off the balance, you may think it's best to wait it out.
