Previous agent claiming to have unpaid invoice and now chasing

I used to have a property which was rented out, the property has since been sold. A previous letting agent appears to have gotten in touch claiming there is an unpaid invoice for the property which needs settling. In the time since I last used this company it has been dissolved. Firstly, I'm not clear if it's actually genuine as from a random number. If we assume it is however, where do I stand with this? As far as I am aware, all bills/work, etc were paid in full at the time. Charges came direct from float or rent, eg. If an outstanding bill the next rent payment would be taken to cover it. I do not know how long ago they are referring to, but it would be at least 3 years ago. Although I do not expect that there is actually an unpaid invoice, if there was and there is no longer a company, could it still be pursued?

I will be checking paperwork for the last few years when I get home tonight to reassure myself, but grateful for any advice on where I might stand if it is pursued.

If the company has been dissolved, the only way you can still owe anything is if they sold the debt to another company prior to being dissolved. If the alleged debt is over 6 years old, it is no longer enforceable.

Thank you, that's really helpful @prh47bridge
