My old Dad passed away about 18 months ago, and my mum has just let on he had a 10k credit card bill, we she has been paying off monthly since then, down to about 3k now. As far as I know she hadn't told the card company, and doesn't use it. Could the debt have been written off ? Or has she done the correct thing ?

Thank you.

There are assets to cover this, although some have taken a while to be transferred into my Mothers name...but as pointed out I think a little intervention might freeze/refund the interest payments. She didn't want to tell them in case the bailiffs were round for the full amount straight away.
