What is the meaning of “time’s up”?

"Time’s up" is a term used in Creditors Rights Law in Alaska to signify that a debtor has missed their repayment deadline. This applies to both secured and unsecured debt. When the debt accrues, the creditor must ask for repayment of the debt within a certain time frame. If this repayment deadline is not met, the creditor may take legal action against the debtor. This is often referred to as “time’s up” and means that the creditor can take additional steps to collect the debt. These additional steps may include garnishing wages, seizing assets, or filing a lawsuit. The “time’s up” phrase is used to inform the debtor that legal action may be taken in order to collect the debt. It is important to note that, even after “time’s up,” the debtor can still attempt to negotiate with the creditor to set up an alternate payment plan. This is often done through a debt settlement company or other third party. It is important to always stay in communication with the creditor after “time’s up” in order to avoid further legal action.
