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 -

Not breaking any laws. Loss of a 75k a year job resulting in credit couldn’t be paid back. Not that I need to explain myself to someone who sounds extremely bitter.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.
