If you are not in a position to pay then do not think of deficiencies of your creditors to recover the money rather try to settle and negotiate money which may be some share of the total debt.

Wait & Watch.
do not commit anything in writing, or leave evidence, to see that it don't come within limitation period again.

NOW THIS CASE IS TIME BARRED AS PER LIMITATION ACT is your correct thought legally if you do not not acknowledge it in writing with promise to pay; it can not be realized by suit. But debt is a liability on debtor and right of creditor and that never
dies.
Rest is on you.

I have similar opinion as Mr.Prabhakar Singh. Now, Creditors have no civil remedy.
However,I Suggest you to settle matter amicable even to purchase peace of mind.
