Solicitors for Abbey National chasing £23,032 outstanding mortgage balance!

My Partner quit her house & moved in with me 3 years ago. The house was subject to compulsary purchase at the time though no figure had been put forward. The house was co-owned by my partners ex husband. Now 3 years later we have received a letter from DLA solicitors acting for the Abbey National, asking my partner to contact them within 7 days & provide details on an Income & Expenditure sheet. The debt they are chasing is for £23,032. The house was resold for £6,750. I am not working and my partner receives Working Family Tax Credit for 2 children & works 30 hrs a week. In the letter DLA appologises for the substantial delay since the sale of the property. We are very worried that we could be saddled with repayments we can't afford. Does my partner a case under the Human Rights act due to the length of time that it has taken DLA to contact my partner? Would it be best just to go to court?
