Hi BB, If the debt is older than six years, and if you haven't had contact with a DCA or the OC within the six years, then the debt becomes statued barred. Alfama
Generally a debt never expires. And a creditor can dun you until its paid. But there is a Statute of Limitations that may limit the legal tools they can use to collect.
According to this site (Law relating to debts: statute-barred debts) its six years.
You may also find this site (Debt Factsheets - Liability for Debts and the Limitation Act)
And, finally, this site (Creditor Harassment In The United Kingdom (UK)) tells you what limits the creditor has for dunning you.
