This is not a discussion thread but as this is important and requires immediate action I will post it separately.
If you received either of emails that Felicitas sent on the 3rd / 4th February it probably means Felicitas has sent you a Statutory Demand that you may not have received due to say moving address over the years.
Statutory Demands are dangerous things that Felicitas are abusing but that abuse doesn't protect you here. As you now know there is a risk that a demand has been sent you really do need to do deal with the fact and stop Felicitas from abusing your lack of reply.
To do this you really do need to respond to the emails and state something like the following
That should be enough to stop Felicitas from continuing with the demand (you've told them they failed to deliver it and that you dispute any money is owed).
Felicitas will undoubtedly respond by asking for your new address details but:
1) Previously they (ab)used the IoM Financial Services Authority regulations to ask for the details. But you are under no obligation to give them that see Felicitas Demanding Proof of Your ID & Address? | ETC Tax | Expert and experienced tax advice .
2) They may likewise claim that you need to provide them with your address for other reasons say a UK court. If a court is referenced ask them for the evidence from that court and then double check with the court.
As the ETC article states - it was Felicitas's responsibility to keep and retain up to date contact details - the fact they have failed to do so is their problem not yours.

Thank you for your email which seems to imply that you have sent me a Statutory Demand regarding a debt you seem to believe I owe you. Please could you tell me which address you sent it to as I have never received it...
As for your demand for money as far as I am aware I do not and have never owed Felicitas ... any money. Please accept this email as formal notification that I dispute any claim that I owe you any money.
Can you please confirm via email that you have received this email and acknowledge receipt of the fact that the debt you claim to exist is disputed and confirm that you have withdrawn the statutory demand.
