unenforceability of arrears?

hi there,can someone please clarify,if a debt was accrued with the csa prior to 2000, can they now collect it?
I have looked on the nacsa website and they say that the csa can issue administrative liability orders which means that they can collect pre-2000 debts?
are the debts classed as statute barred?thanks

    Under the Sutherland Judgment, it depends when the debt became due, not when it was run up.

    Hope it helps.
