Lettting agent threatening me

Although this is going to be referred to a lawyer, I just wondered what people here thought.
Letting agent (who find tenant and reference them only - non managed) referenced a housing agency as the tenant, not the actual tenant (who they call "nominated tenant")
The AST states that the tenant is responsible for seeing out costs - but tenant/nominated tenant has not paid them.
The nominated tenant was a known criminal (housing agency knew this) who has caused 7000 pounds worth of damage to the property (deposit was 875 pounds!).
Letting agents are now saying that I must pay the bill for the tenants seeing out costs from the (now long gone on repairs) deposit and are threatening me with court. I've told them to seek it from the tenant.
Do you think the letting agents are trying it on ?
To my mind they are in part responsible for not referencing who was living in the house - which I paid them to do.
Any opinions please?
