It is becoming the practice for state statutes/regs to require a debt collector to include advisement of SOL notification in communications with consumers.
New York, Calif, and Mass already have such requirments.
The FDCPA is currently developing proposed federal rulemaking, which may impose such a requirement nationally.
It is their prudent voluntary compliance with the growing trend that debt collectors provide such notices to consumers.
Additionally, PRA has been placed under sanctions by the CFPB for various practices, one of which is lack of advisement to the consumer when the SOL has clearly expired that they cannot initiate any civil action on the debt. Addition of notices to their web site is likely to placate the CFPB.
