Debt collection

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I received a text from srj this morning asking me to contact them. The thing is the only thing I can think of is an old orange bill after separating from my previous partner almost 6 years ago but this text came in my new married name (married 2 years) can they find out when someone gets married? If not what companies do they work for? As I really can't think who would contact me in my new name :/ thanks for any help
