Debt Problems

Debt Collector Problem, How Can I get rid of Debt Collectors?

Hi 7 years ago I emigrated to America to get away from debt problems after my business went bust, I never went Bankrupt, but the debts were over 50 thousand pounds. I recently returned for a year to visit Family and opened a new bank account at my Parents House, I just got a letter from a Debt collection agency saying that COOP Bank sold them my two thousand pounds debt two years ago and they want me to contact them to arrange repayments on it, two days later another letter said as I had not responded so of their agents was calling to my parents house and I could be taken to court and be made Bankrupt. Is there some limitatioin law that stops them from pusuing old debts over so many years? what shall I do to get rid of them? I have no intention of paying them and I am leaving the UK in 3 months, I just want to get rid of them so my Parents don't get hasslled by the Debt collectors once I have left as there are many other collectors that could surface as a result.

1. sorry dude only way is to pay say you cant afford much and pay a bit a week until you leave if your going to be there for three months then you will end up in court if you dont pay something
2. If you were incorporated and the debt was tied to the corporation then you should just close the corporation. That'd probably do it.
3. File bankruptcy or fake your own death.
