Debt Collectors chasing for old debt

dudes_2

I have been contacted by a debt collection agency. They claim that I owed £15 from a mobile phone contract in November 2004.

I have little memory of this, but I don't allow debts to acrue, so I highly doubt it.

They are now asking for £200.

I have asked for documentation regarding the debt, but they say they don't have any, they have bought the debt from the mobile phone company.

What can I do? I have received a few letters now, and had a couple of unhelpful phone calls with them.

They must have some proof if you owe them, surely the mobile company has proof?
