Car finance from 10+ years ago

Hi

Wondering if anyone can help me.

I bought a car on finance in 2008 and it got repossessed and sold at auction in 2009, the finance was with Santander. They took me to court in 2009 and it got 'stayed' at court as they said I hadn't sent certain documents to them when I did and I had proof, they never pursued with the courts and it was left like that, they then sold it to Bluestone (not sure on the year), however I never responded to them and they eventually stopped sending letters. In 2015 they then sold it to Cabot financial and have tried contacting me on numerous occasions, to which i have not responded or paid them a penny. I then received a letter from Resolvecall (23/09/21) saying that they were acting on behalf of Cabot and I need to get in touch with them.
I am aware that there is a balance that is outstanding, but am unsure whether this will now be classed as 'statue-barred'. I am wondering if anyone can give advice on this as I need to know what the next step is to do.

Thanks
