You need to reply back with the legal notice and in case they are still adamant then you will have to file a case against them since they have an option of filing defamation case against you. The screen shot being old holds no ground but you need to defend properly

Considering that it is a civil dispute, the legal notice from company must be replied in a proper legal manner. In case the company files a civil suit in future, you can rely on your reply in future. You may contact me in case you want to draft and serve your reply to the company concerned.

If they have sent you a Legal Notice, then, you must reply. What if they sue you tomorrow, so it is the best practice always to defend oneself, it is must to tender reply to the Legal Notice served upon you!
