Hi everyone - my first post here, please be gentle!
My g/f wants to help me clear my debt and is willing to lend me some money so I was considering making F&F offers to settle all my debts, but am now reconsidering. I would love to be debt free and not have to spend every day opening yet another letter from a DCA as I have done for pretty much the last 2-3 years, but I am also keen to consider CCA. A few questions:
1) Bearing in mind the dates I started these accounts, do you advise going down the CCA route?
2) Is the statute barred date 6 years from the last payment I made or the last full payment?
3) If I go for F&F do you recommend starting at 10%?

Thanks,
