Normally we write-off after 3 to 4 years but you check out current rule regarding write -off and then you pass entries as follows to write-off creditors
1) your first entry in the Books before write -off

( Booking entry )
2) When you are going to write-off
Trade Creditors A/c Dr
Trade Creditors written -off A/c Cr
( Creditors write off )
3) Trade creditors write-off Transfer to profit & loss Account as Indirect Income
