Promissory Note in Utah
A written promise to repay a personal loan, with the amount, interest and payment schedule. States limit how much interest a lender can charge; check your state's rules below before you set the rate.
What Utah law says
| Maximum interest rate (usury limit) | Utah has no general usury cap for these contracts: the parties to a written, verbal or implied contract, including a loan, may agree on any rate of interest. If they do not expressly agree on a rate, the legal rate is 10% a year. Licensed lenders and specific loan types may be subject to other laws. Source: Utah Code § 15-1-1 |
|---|---|
| Time limit to sue on a written contract | 6 years for an action on a contract, obligation or liability founded on an instrument in writing. For a credit agreement, the 6 years run from the latest of when the debt arose, the debtor's last written acknowledgment or promise to pay, or the last payment by the debtor or a third party.
