Check your credit files to see if there’s anything on there about a CCJ.
If nothing has happened in the last 15 years, then the debt will be statute barred.Not sure if it’s best to ignore them or send them a prove it letter.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
