Statute Barred Question

Posts: 3 Newbie
Hi
I think that one of my debts could now be statute barred - I have not paid nor acknowledged said debt for 7 years.
I have avoided checking my credit report during this time - just wondering if it would be ok to check now or would i be opening a can of worms - and if i do check what company would you suggest i use.
thanks
RF

You should check all three of your files, as different lenders report to different CRAs.0

The only time checking your report would be bad (to you) is if you are hiding off grid. If you are a "normal" person with bank, mobile, and energy accounts and on the electoral roll then nothing will come of it.

Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
