    Sounds like the bank debt hasn't been acknowledged since Oct 2002. So under Limitations Act 1980, it becomes unenforceable in October 2008.

    I'd say 'don't poke it with a stick' (that includes the bank charges idea)

    If you're going to pay the old Cap one debt, don't go for instalments. Negotiate a 'full & final' deal and pay it in one lump. 50% should do it.
