On a general note... this is a civil matter, and as such akin to a commercial dispute.
My general advice would be to always dispute in writing any bill, invoice, or other form of pay demand that you do not intend to pay.
Doing so means that the matter has to go to court before any further action can be taken against you.
And if you are lucky, then the other party might decide to drop the case.
Of course if you have no valid reason to avoid paying the amount demanded, then you should either pay-up, or otherwise agree terms of payment with the creditor.
But ignoring a pay demand is rarely a good option.
