Being charged for a debt I don't recognise 3 years later

Hi,

About 3 years ago I signed a contract with a letting agency for the property I currently live in. They are now saying that I haven't paid the total owned at the moment of signing the contract ( deposit + fees) and own them 100 Pounds. They never contacted me about this before and as far as I remember I paid the total before they handed the keys to me. Where do I stand legally on this. Do I need receipts to prove I paid even after such a long time? Any help welcome.

    Ask them for proof that you haven't paid the correct fees and deny anything is owed if you are sure you paid , surely they wouldn't hand keys over if they haven't been paid ? Dig out any receipts you have.

    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
