They say I do not have any income which is taxed under PAYE. The previous year taxable income was well over £20k and my circumstances have not changed. Unbelievable that with such a poor reputation they allocate resources to such a trivial amount, and then get it completely wrong. Maybe I should change my name to Starbucks.

The fact that you can log into it shows that you still have a live SA account so should have been filing tax returns every year. If you have no liabilities at all in the UK, no property let out, or anything else, then you need to close it. There is an SA criteria questionnaire on the HMRC.GOV.UK website where you can check. Perhaps the debt is fines for none compliance, late filing etc. If the debt is from SA, either from tax owed, or unpaid fines, it will have your 10 digit unique tax payer reference on the bill.
