Is there life after debt?

Many years ago after my first marriage broke up, I got into debt. It started with hubby leaving me with house and mortgage (long story) and things just esculated...

I entered an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement)to pay a monthly affordable amount. Then my mother died suddenly and I had a breakdown and stopped working for a while. I could not afford to pay naything and the IVA failed.As a result all my debts are sat on my credit file with a Default date against them.I have been told that after 6 years they will disappear and I should be ok? This all seems to good to be true.Its 6 years next year and I wonder what will happen?
On a happier note I remarried last year to a lovely man and we have a baby.He already had a house but we would love to move. Now I am working part time we would need my income taken into account to up the mortgage and move. Is that likely?

Thanks in anticipation.

Long story!!

Cant afford to pay them at this stage and would get me nowhere as have been blacklisted for them for the last 5 years.

Will NEVER get credit again apart from new mortgage as desperate to move.

Sorry if that sounds like a crap excuse,but thats that!
