    Thanks that's what i was basically thinking. I will be in Australia and people who have done the 'bunk' say they have never been chased.

    I didn't think it unreasonable to ask considering the extortionate interest they are charging and the age of the debt, my fault I know. No harm in calling them I suppose and see what they say.

    I see so many people wipe off all their debt and couldn't care less I imagined offering 70%+ would tempt them. We will see.
    The main reason the interest rates are so high is because of the cost of the debts having to be written off because of the parasites who won't pay.

    Just be careful OP, it can be bad Karma to deliberately run away from paying your debts.

    Life has a habit of evening things up one way or another it really does!!
