Help with N1CPC and Hoist Portfolio Handling 2 Limited

I would appreciate some advice regarding a N1CPC I have received regarding a debt from Hoist Portfolio Holding (originally from Allience & Leicester / Santander).

I am vaguely aware of a loan I took out in 2005 with Allience and Leicester, which for many reasons I fell behind the payments on.

Eventually I arranged a £1 a month payment plan which I then defaulted on in 2009. (I know this is sounding bad so far....).

I have recently had Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Limited chasing me for this, but I stuck my head in the sand and presumed it was statute barred, (I had seen it on my Noddle account, and then disappear).

However, I have just received a N1CPC claim form from Northampton court, advising all documents and payments to be sent to Howard Cohen and Co.

I wrote to them with a 'prove it' type letter, and today I received a statement dates with today's date from period 8th August 2014 to 20th June 2015.

Do the debt company have to prove the debt belongs to me, ie give me a copy of the original agreement?

How can I find out if the debt is statute barred?
