Debt over 15 years old yet still being chased

[Witsend1]

I have been debt free for over 15 years , well I thought I had. I have no ccjs. Nothing adverse on my credit score - infact it is really good but I have recently been receiving letters from a debt company saying I owe money and to contact them. They dont say how much but they keep sending letters that I have up to now ignored. Last week a man left a card in my letterbox saying he was a debt collector and to contact them. He said he left calling card because I was not at home. He did not even knock. I saw him on my cctv and assumed he just dropped a leaflet through. What shall I do ? Surely after 15 years no one can chase you for debt. I am retired now and am in poor health and do not need the stress of strangers trying to force their way into my home.

Send the statute barred letter and ask them to leave you alone.
