... if they keep banging on the door phone the police and tell them someone is trying to break in and you are in fear for your life, Plod will be round in no time and possibly tell them to leave or be arrested.

... or give you a warning for wasting Police time by not telling them the whole story...

If you're genuinely in fear for your life you can phone 999.

It doesn't matter who is at the door.

Or would you suggest that the advice from the Met is incorrect?

If a debt isn't yours, you can dispute it. You have 30 days to take action on a debt validation letter. If you take no action, the creditor can assume the debt is valid and move forward trying to collect it.

Which it looks like you did.
However if you have been through the ombudsman and they ruled in your favour it looks like you will need to

Apply to court to stop a bailiff

If a bailiff has behaved so badly you don’t think they should be allowed to be a bailiff any more, it can be worth applying to court to have their certificate taken away. This will stop them working as a bailiff - they’ll stop contacting you and you won’t have to pay their fees.

contact your nearest citizens advice for help if you’re considering court action against bailiffs. An adviser can discuss the options with you.

Thanks this is something I am looking into.

My local police (Hampshire) told they will not intervene into civil matters!

It is an extremely long reach from having debt collectors at your door, to being 'genuinely in fear for your life', and encouraging people to lie about the circumstances in the hopes of getting Police involved is very poor advice...
