You have to give full facts about why there was such a long delay from them. Only then proper advice can be given.

Bank does not have legal recourse of recovering the money after expiry of 3 years of last transaction/ last payment/ last acknowledgment of dues at your end (whichever is later). But your name will always be there in negative credit rating debarring you to avail credit facility from any bank.

Its public money hence to pay back is your moral duty, speak to bank for amicable settlement and get the issue closed.
