    Just starting to feel anxious about it all again…feels like it will be starting all the stress up again …..

    There's nothing to be anxious about .You are in a great position, you are mortgage free and you could probably clear everything now with the £15k by making 57% offers. Now's the time to enjoy yourself, make CCA requests to see which debts you can ignore, and take your time making low offers to keep as much of that £15k as you can for yourself.
  • Thank you. The comments put in perspective.  So we don’t pay anything once the CCA letters are sent? Just wait for the feedback and then make offers as necessary?

    Yep. Obvs start low. Maybe offer 30% on valid debts and see what the response is.
  • Thanks so much …🤞
