Defaults on Credit File, Nobody Chasing Debt.

Hi,

Got a question for the community.

My credit report is pretty bad, showing a lot of debt.

I am trying to get all this sorted out, however, most of the companies I owe money to are not chasing me. I have no account details and would not know who to contact.

Whats the best way for me to proceed in this matter.

    How old is the debt? Can you give us more information, eg who you owe, how much and when you last paid?
    What will your verse be?

    they may not chase you know, but years down the line they could sell it on and it could catch up just before the statutory bar timeframe. Could lead to a CCJ.
