[Resolved]  Idea Cellular — Legal notice when bill already paid

Today at 1:27 pm i received a legal notice on my email id from idea cellular via advocate Akash Gupta stating I had outstanding dues of my previous postpaid connection.
But I had already paid the entire amount before leaving that idea connection and received a mail from idea itself.I feel this kind of exploitation is really bad for the company of such stature.
Following is the exact notice-
