You can't buy individual debts. They come in large portfolios of thousands of accounts.

I think there's not much point in purchasing your own debt as by that point the creditor has written it off anyway (and as someone said above - paying it off at that point will not do anything for your credit report, and the debt will fall off your history after 7 years either way).
