Non domestic rates

I have just received a letter from my local council asking to pay non domestic rates on a property I once was renting 13 years ago.
I don't have any of the paperwork for that long ago but I am also confident the dates don't match when we vacated the unit.
The council say they had previous tried to collect in 2013 however were unable to find me, even though I had domestic rates in my name at my home property. The say they gave up looking for me until now.
Is there anything I can do?

Have a chat with your local councillor.
Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
Just a question, because I don't know, but is a debt that old enforceable? Can they take you to court for recovery?
