The claim itself is time barred and you should reply with mentioning of the date of transaction and details of transaction. As per law any recovery of money that should be done within three years from the date of transaction. Please reply to the said notice denaying the contents of the notice . Please proceed.

Any debt if it’s due for more than 3 years becomes a time barred debt and cannot be recovered unless they can show a continuous cause of action.
Continuous cause of action does not arise in your case as they have not contacted you in between. So you can issue a legal response to the notice accordingly.
