Help with really old debt (again)

Hi hope someone can help me.

I owe money to Egg from 2001 just £250, they contacted me after 6 years and I wrote the template letter about statue barred debt, heard no more.

Since moving to England (from Wales) and am grown up now and have another credit card etc (with a clean credit file I may add) was with egg now changed to Barclay card I am being stalked in my maiden name for same debt but different company? EqiDebt on behalf of Aktiv Kapital.

I have been ignoring all letters as like I said I already sent off template letter many years ago about it being statue barred.

This letter I recieved today says " We may instruct a doorstep agent to make an appointment to visit you at you home".

They also been calling my mobile (leaving answer phone messages for me in my maiden name along with a ref number).

Any advice please?
