Basically - you owe money, you can now afford to pay it but you want to avoid paying it and hoping to get off scot free. Taking advantage of a loophole. Shocking. If you have the money then pay it what you owe2

If you have the money then pay it what you oweAs no collection letters have been received, and the accounts no longer appear online, its very likely that the companies concerned have taken a commercial decision not to chase these accounts.This could be for a number of reasons, usually catalogue companies are the most prolific at attempting to obtain payment on bad debts, they are also the worst offenders at extending credit to those who can least afford to repay it, your comment is uncalled for.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
