Yes it's legal.
With mortgages the lender has at least 12 years to pursue any arrears. The reason for the arrears - even a mistake on their part - is irrelevant.
If you are disputing the arrears exist then you need to provide them with your evidence - ie prove they are mistaken. If you've kept your annual statements it shouldn't be too difficult.
