    Well, I figure theres no harm in trying is there? Are the accounts closed?

    I would phone & ask for an amount for a full & final settlement & see what they offer. You dont have to take them up on it.

    My debts were with NatWest and they offered me a lump sum full and final settlement deal - however, since I didn't have a pot to !!!! in at the time, it wasn't possible for me. They offered to settle for about 50%, I think.
