I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience, and what did they do?
British Gas have sent me a letter saying they didn't take my last direct debit from a house I vacated in March 2013. Further on in the letter it says this was due to a glitch in their system, hence no reminders.
is it worth querying this?

There are a load of posts on MSE(on several threads) about this situation - all about that period.
They are allowed to claim for up to 6 years for a genuine debt. However it would be worth looking at the threads to see if anyone has managed to get any goodwill reduction.0
