Campaign body demanding compensation and accounts info.

I've been selling a slogan badge for several years which says Bring Back British Rail.
Apparently there is a campaign group of the same name and they have contacted me to say that I should be donating all the proceeds from the sale of the badge to their campaign. They also want to know how long I've been selling them for and how man I've sold.
I've had a look and they seem to be a one person organisation. They're not registered as a company, nor as a charity.
An IPO search returned no trademark for the slogan.
Normally I'm happy to stand aside for things such as this but they're being really quite aggressive and it's, frankly, annoyed me!
Where do I stand and how should I reply, if at all?
