Get a decent shredder and get rid of the lot now that more than six years have passed.
If you really want to keep the information, you could scan it to PDF before shredding, but there's no need to retain it.

You only need to keep records for 6 years, so I would get rid of it now.Leave a comment:

What to do with accounts, statements etc for company dissolved in 2009?
Hi
Is there any reason to keep copies of any paperwork related to a limited company that I ran from 2002 to 2009? We wound it down after 2008 and I went off to do very different things.
I've since moved continents, but I left all of the paperwork at my family home in case it was ever needed. Of course it was never needed, but is there any legal reason to keep any of it? Paperwork includes: bank statements, all filings to Companies House, PAYE printouts (most of this is in an old version of Sage which might not even run now), customer invoices, everything sent by HMRC including all their CDs. It's likely my family will also have a change of situation soon so asking them to scan it is a bit unreasonable until I'm back next. I guess I could send it to someone to scan for me, but I think that's only asking for trouble as there is old personally identifiable information that has been secure until now.
