How long do I have to sue over liquidated debt / instrument evidencing debt in Colorado?

Answered for: Colorado

13-80-103.5. General limitation of actions - six years. (1) The following actions shall be commenced within six years after the cause of action accrues and not thereafter: (a) All actions to recover a liquidated debt or an unliquidated, determinable amount of money due to the person bringing the action, all actions for the enforcement of rights set forth in any instrument securing the payment of or evidencing any debt

The statute states 6 years for liquidated debt / instrument evidencing debt. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.

This answer is true in Colorado and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Colorado.
