If the judge actually does ask you that question, a simple "no, I have not received anything like that, sir" will suffice just fine because there is no way for the store or the "law firm" to prove, short of personally delivering a civil demand letter to someone and having them sign in acknowledgement, that you actually received it. So again, I reiterate my suggested course of action: tear up any civil demand letters and pretend they never existed, if you stupidly gave your real phone # to the loss prevention people and you start to get calls about the "civil demand" (Palmer and Reifler loves to do this), tell them they have the wrong number, or better yet, don't answer the phone at all.
