GDPR states
"any personal data must not be kept any longer than it is necessary for the purpose for which the personal data is processed"
I would quest the number of years passed since Telewest existed that this term has been breached
14 years have passed since Telewest ceased trading

The ex-customer still owes a debt, regardless of how long ago it was, whether its no longer listed on their credit file or has become statute barred. VM could argue that its still appropriate to retain their databecause of that. I don't think Telewest did cease trading, it's operations were absorbed into VM (in fact legally Telewest took over NTL).
