    Morally not right but the law is the law. I think the OP was hoping it would just disappear and will be hoping to start again with more credit.

    Agreed.
    I think they are trying it on and it's statue barred.
    Morally I'd like to think I would pay back my debts (if it's not disputed) whatever the circumstances, but you can never judge until you are in that situation.
    I did get a wrong bonus once from my employer and I fessed up and have them the money back. About 9 out of 10 people I asked said they wouldn't.

    Actually I currently have a Standaing order not going through and with 300 customers might not get noticed, so I have the same dilemma.
    Think I'll fess up and pay for the service.

    However I phoned a debt advisory agency and they say that it doesn1t matter how old it is , if it`s sold on the time stats then.

    That is an absolute load of tripe. :eek:
