+6 Year Debt (actual 13 years) - started receiving demands from NEW COMPANY?

I had alot of debt, from various banks and credit cards around 2002, and I lost a job around 2006 and stopped paying the debts, 6 years quickly passed and I moved address

After around 2012 I never got any debt letters

But this last few weeks I got one from from a company called VERIFY, which is for just under 2000£ - its stemmed from TSB

So any advice? As I have received a 2nd letter from them telling me, as i didnt respond they will visit my house (but I like in a house thats a bedsit with 12 other tennants)

    note, I have lived at current address since 2018, and this is first time I have had any old debts re-appear
