    Hi

    It's 6 years after you stopped paying. The debt is not wiped out, it just no longer shows on your credit report. But if you have not had any contact from anyone or paid anything towards the debt for more than 6 years then it would likely be statute barred and unenforceable anyway.

    Mackenzie Hall have proably bought the debt in the hope that you or whoever it belongs too will just pay up. As i said before, get in touch with the national debt helpline they are very helpful, know the law inside out and will give advice on what to do next.
