Finding out about old debts

Hi, just wondered if anyone can give me any advice on a matter please?
I have had a letter from a company chasing an old debt. I don't have any record of this as I have moved house a few times and dont have any paperwork relating to this.
I have asked them to prove it is mine and they have said they will be contacting their client for details and proof.
This was about 2 months ago and I have not heard anything, does anyone know if there is a time limit for them to provide this information?
Many thanks
David

No time limit, but they should not continue any sort of collection activity while they are querying the debt.
