I recieved a letter requesting >£900 for an image used on my website,

The letter used Getty for the evaluation and to come up with the figure. I bought the image as a royalty free image on an online market place over 5 years ago. They claim that they have the copyrights to the image and I don't have a license. Also claim that I've profited from the use of the image.

I am going to send them a return letter asking for them to prove they have the copyright. The photo is not in the intellectual copyright database, Is there any legal laws or terminology that I can use to warn them off. As you can imagine this is very stressful for me, I have 2 days to reply I'm glad I found this forum just in time. They have sent the letter to over 20 businesses, as I was able to find other people using it via google image search. I called them up and they have spoken directly to the "legal team" who also told them the name of the company they represent.

The letter was signed by "legal team" but they claim to be a trading style of a real limited company. Thank you for everyone's help, :-)
