Depending on what the debt is for there is a possibility it is statute barred. As far as I'm aware if a creditor hasn't contacted you for 6 years (12 in the case of a mortgage) the debt cannot be enforced.

Last IPA payment made on 28th June 2010 - it's over at last!

Should be included in your BR

you will need to write to OR and company, providing a copy of your BR court extract and your discharge.
