How long does a collection agency have to legitimately collect a debt?

trixxxi asked:


Is there a specific statute of limitations on collecting the debt? What if this time limit is up, and a collection agency is calling and / or sending letters about how you're going to stop this and get it removed from your credit report? I live in Oregon.
