    After 6 years a debt isnt enforcable as long as you have had no contact with the debt compnay and dont acknowledge the debt in those 6 years.

    Someone with more info should be able to point you to a letter that you need to send to anyone chasing a debt over 6 years old
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
    Mortgage - £2,000
