That said if action isn't taken to recover any monies owed within 6 years of the debt last being acknowledged you may then be able to claim that it has become statute barred.
I find it almost impossible to believe that the bank just said 'That's OK. You can pay us when the house is sold.' Has interest been frozen? Have the accounts been defaulted? Why has it taken 5 years for the executor(s) of the estate to sell the house?
