Credit Card debt in Southern Ireland

Hello - I have debt on a Credit Card from when I lived in Southern Ireland. I moved back to UK in 1994 and in 2011 I was unable to keep up the payments, so have been paying them £50 a month since 2011. Does anyone now if there is a time limit on making these payments and if there is an option for the debt to be quashed after a certain amount of years?

Any help would be really appreciated please

    The debt is still enforceable due to your payments.

    You would need 6 years of no acknowledgement for it to become statute barred.

    Find out how much is remaining and see if you can settle.
