15 July 2011 Find out from your records whether you have been served with any letter of document for the claim from the claimant. If you are sure then he claimant cannot claim anything from you and it is automatically time barred. As per the Limitation act any claim exceeding 3 years shall be barred by Limitation. So do not entertain the claimant and do not issue any letter or response to the claimant.

In case still you are being harassment then you can lodge a Police complain for extortion and let the claimant go to the court of law for his claim.
