The answer to your question depends on the laws which govern the debt. Morally, if you owe a debt that is 7 years or older and have never paid it, you still owe the debt. The 7 year time period is how long the derogatory information may show on your credit report. There is a separate time period, the statute of limitations, for how long you could have been sued over this debt. Both of these have, most likely, expired.

No. Yes and no. Closing an inactive credit card can have two negative effects: (1) Closing an older credit card may lower the average age of your credit accounts, and closing your oldest credit card account (since a credit card is often the first credit account people obtain) may lower the total age of your credit history. (2) Closing a credit line may reduce your total available debt which increases your overall utilization; for example, if you have a $1,000 balance on three credit cards, with a total limit of $20,000 ($5,000 on one card, $15,000 on the other), your overall credit utilization is ($1,000 credit used)/($20,000 credit available = 5%, which is an excellent level of utilization (most guides I have consulted recommend a utilization of less than 25% of your total available debt. If you close the card with the $15,000 limit, your utilization becomes ($1,000 credit used)/($5,000 credit available = 20%, a much higher utilization, and that will negatively impact your FICO score. However, the effects are usually temporary. As your other revolving accounts age the first effect will lessen, and if your other credit lines increase the second effect will be lessened as well.

If they are recent, negotiate with them on how much is owed. Before you send any money, get a letter from them stating what they will agree to. If it is older credit accounts, try an dispute them first and see if they are automatically removed. If they are older than 3 years old, unless a lender is requiring it, I would leave them alone. They will come off your credit in 7 years if they do not report anything else to the credit agencies.

Bankruptcy information (and other legal actions like judgments) may stay on a credit report for up to ten years after the fact. If your credit report still reflects a bankruptcy after ten years, create a dispute/update request with the associated credit reporting company and include proof that the bankruptcy is older than ten years old (the state record of the original date of bankruptcy action is typically all of the proof one needs). Negative items (including home loans that may have been forgiven) may stay on your credit report for up to seven years after the occurrence, regardless of bankruptcy status. Similar to the process above, if there is negative information on your credit report after seven years, one can request an update/modification of the credit report by providing appropriate proof.
