I have 3,500 in the bank and 7,000 to pay out by the end of September so yes you could say I’m having trouble making ends meet. I do laugh at the people who get bothered on Internet forums. Came here for advice and received it so thank you very much at least you’re mature enough to answer my questions.sourcrates said:The law is slightly different in Scotland in that once 5 years have passed, the debt is extinguished in law, it no longer exists, and you cannot be chased for it.
In England and Wales the law is not as clear, the limitation period is 6 years, and once that passes, the debt still exists, but a creditor is unable to take legal action to recover the debt.
Are you having trouble making ends meet just now ?Not breaking any law by letting the 15k drop off and dealing with the rest so that is my plan of action otherwise I’d be aswel go bankrupt. At least this way at least some gets paid.1 -

Most hate not been able to pay what they owe, and not paying doesn’t sit easy with some, but If paying your creditors means not eating or forgoing the roof over your head then as these are all unsecured non priority debts, your priority is yourself, and your well-being always comes first.

It's just about playing he game and cheating the system.D3xt3r5L4b said:My reply about paying the money you morally owe was removed it seems.Does this board have no morals? Or is it just about playing the game and cheating the system?

If they end up SB or don’t have enforceable agreements it’s wise of OP to use that to his/her advantageD3xt3r5L4b said:My reply about paying the money you morally owe was removed it seems.Does this board have no morals? Or is it just about playing the game and cheating the system?1 -

But right now they don't. It really seems like the OP just thinks that if they avoid the debts completely they'll just go away. That might happen, or they might end up with a CCJ. And even then, encouraging people to welch on debts seems like poor form for any forum.adamp87 said:

So the flaw is in the system not the people in it, not my fault.upsidedownpancake said:
