Debt letter to Wrong Name(ish) - Correct address

CreditScorer
Posts: 3 Newbie
Dear All,
Hope you can help!
I have received a letter at my address today, correct address, wrong name. They wrote my surname and initials correct, but the name was addressed inside to Samantha, where as I am male.
The letter refers to a debt from BarclayCard, I DID have an old debt from them many years ago, however this defaulted debt has been pay many many months ago (after being sold off to another collection agency)
I have had CCJ's before and I do not want another one, nor anything on my Credit file for my address.
What should I do? Ignore it?
They are threatening all sorts of actions.
Is this a scam? I do not want to contact them and give them any other information.
The letter is from HFO services, which after scanning the internet seems a dodgy/agressive bunch to deal with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
