Full and Final Settlement on Old Debt

Options
Wonderful site. My apologies if this has been discussed in other threads.

I was discharged last year, and now in a better financial position I have an accountant looking over my old debts, and in contact with the liquidators, who are telling me I still owe the IR a significant amount, but also I incurred 4k's worth of overdraft at the time of bankruptcy.

The liquidator is telling me that I still owe this to the bank. Is this true? If so, can I now go to the bank and offer a settlement amount? I was thinking of about 50%.

All comments, and particularly from people who have been in a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
