In what capacity have they contacted them and what have they said to them?

If the contact constitutes an acknowledgement then yes. The Limitation Act refers to acknowledgement by the debtor or their agent.

any acknowledgment or payment— .
(a)may be sent by the agent of the person by whom it is required to be made under that section; and .
(b)shall be made to the person, or to an agent of the person, whose title or claim is being acknowledged or, as the case may be, in respect of whose claim the payment is being made.
