If you haven't accept at any point that this is your debt then as it's exceeded the 6 years I believe they have no right to expect you to pay. Have you phoned them at all or written to them either by email or post? What has been done by which method has different consequences.
Who is chasing you? If you haven't admitted anything at all and they are writing to you, I would suggest you write back and asked them to prove you owe the money.

The debt is statute barred and cannot be enforced unless the creditor can prove that they have actively been trying to trace you for said debt this whole time and you attempted to thwart such activities.
