Defaults - want to do either token payment or F&F

Options
Hi,
am hoping someone can help me with a couple of questions. I have looked through the forums for the last week or so and think i now have an understanding of defaults;

I have 3 defaults:
Arrow Global - £912 default date Feb 2010
MKDP - £777 default date May 2011
Capital 1 - £3401 default date Dec 2012

I have never acknowledged any of these debts and tried to not even open the letters in the hope they would go away :o

So from some digging my understanding is that even when they drop off I can still be chased for the debt?

So I now just want to start to deal with them, I am trying to get myself fully sorted and just want it all gone, LBM finally?! :T

So do I write to them acknowledging the debt and offer them a token payment of say £5 a month, if so what letter do I use

Do I have to give them a list of my income/outgoings or do they just say that i have to?

Or should I just offer them silly amounts like 10% of the debt to settle, especially on the one due to drop off next year?

sorry for the long post, any advice gratefully received though :)

PS - have 4 defaults showing on Sig - recently defaulted on £390 totally my fault (obviously!) but my dad died and started a new job and it slipped through the net so just want to pay that one in full
