Offering a F&F for unenforcable debt

Options
Is there any disadvantage in making a very low F&F on an unenforcable debt ?  I'm guessing there is nothing in terms of admission of liablity as the debt still exists and has been paid into via a DMP, but just wanted to make sure I am not making matters worse if not accepted and I continue to not pay ?

    No, not really.  As you say - you've acknowledged the debt exists by the very fact you are paying it via a DMP, so in that case you are not hindering the course of a 'statute barred status'.  That particular clock starts ticking when you stop paying and stop communicating with the debt owner.  So I'd say go for it, you've nothing to lose.

    No harm in offering as you have already accepted that it exists. How much are you paying towards it via the DMP?
