need some advice

I need some help please.
I have been contacted by a collection agency trying to collect on a debt 9 years ago with ICBC regarding some vehicle insurance. I was also contacted approx. 7 years ago by another collections agency for the same reason and I did send them numerous post dated cheques to clear this account. The collections agency present is telling me that ICBC has no records that I already paid to a collection agency several years ago. I also have no records as I am currently in a high conflict divorce and either the other half has all personal records from back then or they have been destroyed. I have explained this to the collection agency and now they are telling me I need to provide them proof of this when I can't. I aksed them why ICBC would not have a record of this. The reply was its not their problem, its yours. The guy was really ignorant and I have already cited Statute of Limitations to him. He says he will continue to phone me and will not leave me alone although I have asked to not contact me again. He says the statute of limitations does not apply in this case. I do not believe him.
