Moriarty law ignoring a "prove it letter"

Hi everyone,
I'm new here but have researched advice in the past here.
About a month ago I had a letter from a moriarty law demanding payment for £230 from a talk talk contract that "agreement had started in 2010" I had had a dispute with talk talk many years ago and considered it settled. I don't have those letters (I know shame on me) from the discussion with talk talk but I thought I'd send a "prove it" letter to moriarty to see what came back.
Anyway I sent this letter by recorded delivery and they have completely ignored it and sent a final demand saying I will be legal action will start in 16 days and I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm pretty sure I don't owe this money and I used a template from these forums where it does state that if action isn't halted and evidence provided then it would be considered harassment.
Thank in advance
Paul

They will need to provide evidence to the court when you ask them for it, and the court will want to know why pre-action protocol was not complied with earlier.
You could respond reminding them of there obligation to provide evidence of liability under pre-action protocol rules.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

Cheers for the replies.
It would be around 6 years ago in the new year I believe. We moved house and had cancelled our account and they decided I hadn't and needed to pay them but it got settled after some letter writting
I'll draft up a letter to send moriarty law0 -

The date of your last payment could be a game changer.
Have 6 years or more past since you paid anything to talk talk ?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

I just scrawled through my bank account online and it was 08 Feb 2012 when I latter paid them anything, so just short of 6 years by just over a month0

They shouldn't start a claim without a formal pre-action protocol letter
