Statute Barred or can of worms

HI Everyone,



Thanks for the ongoing advice. i can really say that you have helped me a great deal.



I have two what i believe to be very old debts on my credit file, which seem to be going up and up and up yet i never receive any correspondence from them.



To my knowledge i haven't made any payment or acknowledgement of this for a very long time.



i understand that after 6 years you can apply for it to be Statute Barred



- Is there a way of finding out when a payment was made



- if i apply for it to be stature barred do i need to go to court?



- will the debt literally just be taken off my credit file??



Thank you again for any advice.
