    You have proof and confirmation from them if cancellation.

    "See you in court" would be your best reply

    In your opinion, will they be likely to follow up.

    There won't be any need for them to follow up.

    Assuming your contract allows you to cancel, and you've followed the instructions for cancellation etc, you shouldn't have to pay any more.

    If you want to be extra safe - assuming you pay by card - you can contact your card provider and tell them to cancel the Continuous Payment Authority.

    (... or cancel the direct debit, if you pay that way.)

    If they debit you contact bank to claim money back given you have cancelled. Keep email safe 👍
    Just do not use channel, gives then a excuse to charge you.

    If they have said they are looking into it. Pointless wasting you time chasing them any more.
