Fulfilment of existing contractual obligations to pay interest : do you have to pay all debts to banks ?

Fatawa Question

Hi, I want to know do I have to pay back the money which I owe to the bank. I had a student account and I took out an interest free loan of 1250 pounds and also I am now over drawn by 7000 pounds. With the same bank I owe them 2000 pounds for a credit card bill. I want to know if I don’t pay the money back to the bank will this be seen as a debt unpaid on the day of judgment because the bank says it will take me to court which will lead to me being black listed if I don’t pay. If I have to pay this money back do I pay the interest on it ? Please explain with references thanks.
