STA International / Hadfield & Co Solicitors / University Invoice Debt / Out of the b

Hi all
Looking for some advice, it would be much appreciated!
So the story is that about 3 years ago I was studying at university. Part of my course involved a field trip to the USA. I cannot remember but I believe the cost of this was around £400 ..... anyway, unfortunately after this field trip my uni career didn't work out and I had to leave. This left me in severe financial straits and I eventually had a DRO issued for me - however I stupidly forgot to include this uni invoice on it!
So anyway after having no contact with the uni or anyone else regarding this matter, about 2 months ago I get a phone call out of the blue from STA International chasing this money (nearly 3 years later). They have now passed it on to Hadfield & Co. solicitors who are threatening legal action etc. etc.
The letter they have sent me does not include any Breakdown or explanation of the debt, it simply has the reference, the client's name and the "debt amount" which somehow is £556 ??
Can anyone suggest what I should be doing - as, needless to say, I can't afford this!
Many thanks in advance
