Six year rule?

I voluntarily returned the house keys to the Brittania BS in May 1992. I have had no contact with anyone from the BBS since. I mentioned the six year rule to my Dad a couple of months ago when I paid him a visit from overseas where I have lived since May 1992. He told me that sometime in 1997 he had received at his home address a number of letters from a solicitor with my name on the envelope that requested I contact them regarding the repossesion. After opening the first one and reading it he sent the others that followed for the next few months back to the sender - with "unknown at this address." The letters stopped after the fourth or fifth. He also got a card in the mail about a year ago addressed to me asking me to call a number to receive a prize. He called the number but denied, when asked personal questions about me, that he didn't know me although the surname was the same. No more prize letters have arrived since.

Now the question. Since the solicitor and "prize" people sent the letter to my Dad, he didn't want to tell me about them as not wanting to upset me, how does this equate to the six year rule. He only told me about the letters, etc (mid 2000) after I showed him some articles I had copied to show him from this excellent Website. I still live overseas.

Any advice would be most welcome - thank you
