Question

How long is a period of time when a debt can't be collected by a lender for none action in ILLINOIS.?

Answer 1

The first site listed in sources below discusses your question in general and has a link to the second site listed for Illinois specifics.

Basically the limit is five years for open (credit card) accounts and ten for loans (written contracts.)  The sites make the point that it is not illegal to ask you to pay and inappropriate action on your part can start the clock over.  There are also limits to how you can be asked to pay.  Read the material at the two listed sites to be sure you know what to do and not do if you are contacted about an old debt.
